After the machine sews the first few stitches of the curved end the gimp cords down from the metal hook with a straight stitc pin. Warning: The presser foot must not be raised from the fabric surface! Pull the gimp cord on the left towards the rear until the loop i just in front of the needle. Carefufly sew the curve, guiding thE gimp cord under the stitching. After sewing the curve, hold the gimp cords into a needle and them to the vvrong side of the garment. Tie the gimp cords anc off excess cord. The round buttonhole with gimp cord is sewn in the same way Tip: This thread. buttonhole is particularly attractive when sewn wth a heavier-weighi Buttonhole tips Buttonholes that are to be sewn very close to a reinforced edg may sometimes not feed optimally with the buttonhole foot because of the bulk at the edge of the fabric. In this case, use presser foot 1A with the Integrated Dual Feed engaged. Fabrics that shft or stretch easily should be reinforced with wa soluble or liahtweight stabilizer, Buttonholes are particuiary sTable and durable if a gimp cord i inserted while sewing (see " Buttonholes, with girnp cord"). Linen buttonholes are particularly attractive if you use a heaviE weight thread through a topstitch needle. Buttonholes arc normally selected a little larger than the butto diameter. It is important to alvvays sew a test buttonhole on th same fabric/stabilizer as your project.

the

down
from
the
metal
hook
with
a

pin.
Warning:
The

must
not

surface!
Pull
the
gimp
cord
on

loop
i
just

Carefufly
sew

under
the

After
sewing
the
curve,
hold
the
gimp
cords
into

and
them to

Tie
the

The
round
buttonhole
with

is
sewn
in

Tip:
This
buttonhole
is
particularly
attractive
when
sewn
wth

Buttonhole
tips
Buttonholes
that
are
to
be
sewn
very
close
to
a
reinforced
edg
may
sometimes
not
feed
optimally
with
the
buttonhole
foot
because
of
the
bulk
at
the
edge
of
the
fabric.
In
this
case,
use
presser
foot
1A
with
the
Integrated
Dual
Feed
engaged.
Fabrics
that
shft
or
stretch
easily
should
be
reinforced
with
wa
soluble

stabilizer,
Buttonholes
are
particuiary
sTable
and
durable
if
a
gimp
cord
i
inserted
while
sewing
(see
Buttonholes,
with

cord”).
Linen
buttonholes
are
particularly
attractive
if
you
use
a
heaviE

thread
through
a

needle.
Buttonholes
arc
normally
selected
a
little
larger
than
the
butto
diameter.
It
is
important
to
alvvays
sew
a

buttonhole
on
th

as
your
project.
