Making A Buttonhole On Stretch Fabrics; Left And Right Side Balance For Buttonhole - Necchi Q132A Instruction Manual

v Making a buttonhole on stretch
fabrics
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric,
hook heavy thread or cord under the
buttonhole foot.
Attach the buttonhole foot. Bring the two gimp
thread ends to the front of the foot and insert
them into the grooves, then tie them there
temporarily. 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. Cross the
gimp in front of the needle and thread gimp
ends into a large needle, pull to the wrong
side and knot ends before cutting excess.

position (between "+" and "-")
If the stitches on the left side of buttonhole
are too close together, turning dial to the left
opens left side (+).
If the stitches on the left side of the buttonhole
are too open, turning dial to right closes left
side (-).
