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.
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.
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.
