Buttonhole with gimp cord
Buttonholes that are sewn with gimp cord under the satin stitch
columns are more stable, durable and professional looking. Use pearl
cotton or regular gimp thread.
• Insert the sensormatic buttonhole guide.
• Place the center of a length of gimp cord over the metal hook
extending from the center back of the buttonhole foot. Pass the cord
ends under the foot and pull up into the right and left guides on the
front of the presser foot.
• Snap on the buttonhole foot. Before starting to sew, move the foot
to align the arrow with the second red mark. Buttonholes 50, 51, 52
or 53 work well for this technique. Follow the instructions on page
3:8 of how to program the size of your buttonhole.
• After completing the buttonhole, pull the ends of gimp cord until
the loop of thread is hidden under the buttonhole bartack.
• Thread the gimp cord ends into a hand sewing needle and pull
them to the wrong side of the garment. Tie the gimp threads and
cut off the excess thread.

• Snap on the buttonhole foot and pull the slide of the foot towards
you until the back white part of the foot touches the back of the
slide. The red arrow will match the first red mark. Before starting
to sew, press the needle up/down button (3). See page 3:8 for
