Clearance
plate
When
sewing
buttons
on
garments,
a
shank
is
often
required
so
that
the
button
stands
slightly
away
from
the
fabric.
Use
the
clearance
plate
for
this
purpose.
Use
the
thin
end
when
sewing
buttons
on
light
fabrics,
the
thick
end
for
heavier
fabrics.
Fix
the
button
with
a
stitch.
Raise
the
presser
foot
and
place
the
clearance
plate
between
the
button
and
the
fabric.
Lower
the
presser
bar
and
sew
on
the
button.
Remove
the
clearance
plate
pull
the
threads
between
the
button
and
the
fabric,
wind
them
a
few
times
around
the
shank
and
tie
the
ends.
The
clearance
plate
is
also
an
excellent
aid
when
sew
ing
hems
over
extremely
thick
seams,
e.g.
on
jeans.
Start
sewing
the
hem
with
straight
stitch.
When
you
have
sewn
so
far
that
the
presser
foot
is
touching
the
seam,
stop
the
machine
with
the
needle
in
the
fabric.
Lift
the
presser
foot
and
insert
the
clearance
plate
from
behind.
One
side
of
the
clearance
plate
is
elevated.
Use
the
side
which
corresponds
best
to
the
thickness
of
the
seam.
Lower
the
presser
foot
and
continue
to
sew
over
the
thick
seam.
Stop
the
machine
again
just
in
front
of
the
seam
with
the
needle
in
the
fabric.
Remove
the
clearance
plate
and
re-insert
it
under
the
presser
foot
from
the
front.
Sew
a
further
few
stitches
until
the
whole
foot
has
passed
the
seam
and
is
resting
on
the
clearance
plate.
Stop
the
machine
once
again
with
the
needle
in
the
fabric,
lift
the
presser
foot
and
remove
the
plate.
Con
tinue
sewing
until
you
reach
the
next
thick
seam
and
repeat
the
foregoing
procedure.
This
illustration
shows
an
additional
way
in
which
the
clearance
plate
can
be
used
to
simplify
sewing
extremely
thick
fabrics.
No
more
skipped
stitches
or
broken
needles
in
the
future
caused
by
thick
seams.
