\; Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Inserting Cord in One-step Buttonhole Foot L Trim Ends Here Corded Buttonhole Cutting Button Opening 40 CORDED BUTTONHOLES Corded or raised buttonholes are made by stitching over a filler cord. Embroidery or crochet threads make good filler cords, but double strands of sewing thread or a sew-off chain of needle and bobbin thread may also be used. Inserting Cord in One-step Buttonhole Foot • Raise foot. Hold filler cord in both hands, and insert it between foot and underplate, from left side (the side opposite underplate tab). Insert one end of the filler cord in the right notch in front of foot. Lead cord back under foot and loop it up and over the cord spur from right to left. • Bring cord forward, between foot and underplate, and secure end in left notch. Procedure • Insert cord in buttonhole foot as shown and sew buttonhole in the usual way (see page 37 for one-step buttonholes). • When stitching is completed, release cord from foot and remove work by drawing it to the back of the machine. • Draw the loop of filler cord into the buttonhole stitching by holding fabric at the starting end of the buttonhole with one hand and pulling ends of filler cord firmly with the other. • Trim ends of filler cord. Cut button opening. CUTTING BUTTON OPENING Before cutting button opening, place a pin across the cutting space at each end of the buttonhole to protect the bar tacks. Using a pair of small scissors, insert blade in center of cutting space and cut from this point in both directions. Slip button through opening of test buttonhole to check length. For information on adjusting buttonhole length, refer to page 39.
