Corded buttonhole Corded buttonholes that are sewn with gimp threads are more stable, durable and have a professional appearance. Use pearl cotton or a regular gimp thread. 1. Place the center of a length of gimp thread over the metal bar extending from the center back of the sensormatic buttonhole foot 5A. Pass the thread ends under the foot and pull up into the right and left guides on the front of the presser foot. 2. Snap on the sensormatic buttonhole foot 5A. Before starting to sew, make sure that the red arrow lines up with the marking on the foot. 3. After completing the buttonhole, pull the ends of the gimp thread until the loop of thread is hidden below the buttonhole bartack. 4. 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. Sewing mode Sew on a button To sew on a button, remove the presser foot and select the sew on button program. The feed dogs will automatically be lowered. Place the button under the presser foot holder. Use the mirroring icon to make sure the holes in the button are aligned with the swing of the needle and the width is appropriate for the actual button. If needed change the width between holes with the width icons. If needed, increase or decrease the number of stitches that will fasten the button on the fabric, using the button stitch repetition icons (24). Start to sew. The machine will sew the program for you. 24 Note: Use the multi-purpose tool to create a thread shank for your button. You can also use a sew on button foot, available as an optional accessory at your local authorized PFAFF® dealer. 4:14
