SINGER W510 - Manual (Page 33)

Cording gives a reinforced raised button­
hole. It is excellent for use on bulky,
woven fabric, or knits in which the stitch­
ing often gets buried and makes cutting
difficult. On knits, a corded buttonhole
will help keep the fabric from stretching
out of shape.
Choose a heavy cotton crochet thread or
buttonhole twist to use for the cording.
Proceed as for either built-in buttonhole
(page 29) or the turnaround buttonhole
(page 30), having the cord under the
presser foot in such a way that the zigzag
stitch covers the cord. When pivoting the
buttonhole (Fig. 90 ), also swing the cord
around to follow under the second side.
At the completion of the buttonhole snip
the excess cord close to the bartack on
woven fabrics. For knitted garments,
always pull the cords to the wrong side by
using a darning needle or needle threader,
and knot the cord ends before clipping.
