5-10 5 Sewing Assistant Buttonhole with gimp thread Buttonholes that are sewn with gimp threads are more stable, durable and professional appearing. Use pearl cotton or a regular gimp thread. Insert the Sensormatic buttonhole guide. Place the center of a length of gimp thread over the metal bar extending from the center back of the buttonhole foot. Pass the thread ends under the foot and pull up into the right and left guides on the front of the presser foot. Attach the buttonhole foot. Before starting to sew, pull it backward as far as the second red mark. Buttonhole 47, 48, 49 or 50 can now be sewn. After completing the buttonhole, pull the ends of the gimp thread until the loop of thread is hidden below the buttonhole bartack. Thread the gimp threads into a needle and pull them to the wrong side of the garment. Tie the gimp threads and cut off the excess thread.
