Linen buttonhole with gimp thread To sew especially durable buttonholes, e.g. on sportswear, we recommend using a gimp thread. On elastic materials the gimp thread is particularly important to prevent the but tonhole from stretching. • Lay the gimp thread over the rear pro trusion A and pass the thread ends un derneath the presser foot towards the front. • Clamp the threads to the left and right of protrusion B. • Slide the buttonhole runner as far for wards as possible and sew the but tonhole as described in the left hand column. • Pull the loop of the gimp thread into the buttonhole and trim the thread ends. Tip: In order to prevent damaging the bartack by cutting open the buttonhole, insert a pin into the bartack. 27
