Buttonhole stitching

Making a buttonhole on stretch fabrics

When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric,
hook heavy thread or cord under the button-
hole foot.
Attach the buttonhole foot and hook the gimp
thread onto the back of the presser foot.
Bring the two gimp thread ends to the front of the
foot and insert them into the grooves, then
temporarily tie them there. Lower the presser
foot and start sewing.
Set the stitch width to match the diameter of the
gimp thread.
Once sewing is completed, pull the gimp thread
gently to remove any slack, then trim off any
excess.
Please Note: It is suggested that you use
interfacing on the backside of the fabric.
