Utility stitches and practical sewing A B Program A3/A4/2/A1, (models 1022, 1032) Stitch length symbol "buttonhole" Sewing buttonholes with the buttonhole foot Linen buttonhole • Attach the buttonhole foot and slide the foot forward as far as it will go. • Position the pattern adjustment dial at A1 and sew the Àrst buttonhole seam in the desired length. • Select setting A4/2 and sew 4-6 stitches for the bartack. Make sure the fabric stays in position while doing this. • Select setting A3 and sew the second buttonhole seam in the reverse direction and in the same length. • Select setting A4/2 again and sew a few bartack stitches while making sure the fabric stays in position. • Select straight stitch setting C (left needle position) and sew a few tying off stitches. • Cut open the buttonhole with the aid of a pair of scissors or a slitting knife. 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 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 in the left hand column. • Pull the loop of the gimp thread into the buttonhole and trim the thread ends. 34
