Utility stitches and practical sewing
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.
Sewing on buttons
With zigzag stitch G (stitch width 4
mm) you can sew on two and four hole
buttons.
•
Remove the sewing foot and lower the
feed dog.
•
Turn the handwheel towards you and
move the button so that the needle enters
the left hole in the button.
•
Now lower the presser foot lifter; this
holds the button in place.
•
Sew on the button. Take care to ensure
that the needle also enters the right-hand
hole in the button.
Securing
•
Select straight stitch by turning the
width dial (26) to 0.
•
Change the needle position with the
needle position dial (27) so that the needle
enters one of the two holes.
•
Sew a few securing stitches.
