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 (approx. 3/16 inch).
Add the button diameter and thickness together, and
then set the plate at the calculated value.

Memo
• Set the width of the satin stitches to the
width of the gimp thread, and set the button-
hole width to be 2-3 times the width of the
gimp thread.
Memo
• After using the seam ripper to cut open the
threads over the buttonhole, trim off the
threads.
Memo
• For example, for a button with a diameter of
15 mm (approx. 9/16 inch) and a thickness
of 10 mm (approx. 3/8 inch), the scale
should be set at 25 mm (approx. 1 inch).
