Tip: If you would like to sew very fi ne
buttonholes, you can reduce the buttonhole
width with the stitch width dial (27) down to
approx. 3 mm. Use the center needle position
.
Standard buttonhole with gimp thread
To sew especially durable buttonholes,
on heavy fabrics, knits or sportswear, we
recommend using a gimp thread.
On knits the gimp thread is particularly
important to prevent the buttonhole from
stretching.
• Lay the gimp thread over the rear
protrusion A and pass the thread ends
underneath the presser foot towards the
front.
• Clamp the threads to the left and right of
protrusion B.
• Slide the buttonhole runner as far forwards
as possible and sew the buttonhole as
described for your select model.
• Pull the loop of the gimp thread into the
buttonhole and cut the threads.
Carfully cut open your buttonhole with scissors
or a seam ripper.
