Utility Sewing
Tips:
Slightly reduce the upper tension to
produce better results.
Use backing material for fine or
stretchy materials.
We recommend placing a pin across
the end of the buttonhole as a
precaution against cutting the stitches
with the seam ripper.
It is advisable to use gimp cord for
stretch or knit fabrics. The zigzag
should sew over the gimp.
The lines on the buttonhole foot can
be used guides when sewing multiple
buttonholes.
