■ Sewing Stretch Fabrics
When sewing on stretch fabric with , sew the
buttonhole stitches over a gimp thread.
1. Hook the gimp thread onto the back of presser foot
“A”. Insert the ends into the grooves at the front of the
presser foot, and then temporarily tie it there.
1 Upper thread
2. Lower the presser foot lever and start sewing.
Note
Set the stitch width to the width of the gimp thread.
3. Once sewing is completed, gently pull the gimp thread
to remove any slack, and trim off any excess.
Note
After using the seam ripper to cut open the threads over
the buttonhole, trim off the threads.
■ Odd Shaped Buttons/Buttons that do not Fit into the Button Holder Plate
Use the markings on the presser foot scale to set the size
of the buttonhole. One mark on the presser foot scale
equals 5 mm (3/16 inch).
Add together the button diameter and its thickness, and
then set the plate at the calculated value.

Example: For a button with a diameter of 15 mm
(9/16 inch), a thickness of 10 mm (3/8 inch),
the scale should be set at 25 mm (1 inch).
