Making a buttonhole on stretch fabrics
When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric,
hook heavy thread or cord under the button-
hole foot.
Attach the buttonhole foot and hook the gimp
thread onto the back of the presser foot.
Bring the two gimp thread ends to the front of
the foot and insert them into the grooves,
then temporarily tie them there. Lower the
presser foot and start sewing.
Set the stitch width to match the diameter of
the gimp thread.
Once sewing is completed, pull the gimp
thread gently to remove any slack, then trim
off any excess.
Please Note:
It is suggested that you use interfacing on
the backside of the fabric.
