Corded Buttonhole

Corded buttonholes are found on coats and other
garments that require extra strong buttonholes. The
cording reinforces and accentuates the buttonhole.
Sew a corded buttonhole using the same procedure as
described for a classic buttonhole.
• Set the stitch width to match the thickness of the
cording.
With the buttonhole foot raised, hook the filler cord q on
the spur w at the back of the buttonhole foot. Bring the
ends forward under the buttonhole foot.
Position the cord into the forks e on the front of the foot
to hold the ends tight.
Hand turn the flywheel to lower the needle into the
garment where the buttonhole will start and lower the
presser foot.
Press the foot control and slowly sew the buttonhole.
Each side of the buttonhole and the bartacks will be
sewn over the cord q. Remove the fabric from the
machine and cut only the sewing threads.
Pull the left end of the cord q to tighten it. Thread the
end through a darning needle, draw to the wrong side of
the fabric and cut.
Cut open buttonhole.
