FINAL BAR TACK
Adjust Stitch Width Selector to far left
for bar tacks, and take at least six
stitches ending at point F.
FASTENING STITCH
To secure stitching, move Selector to far
right and take three stitches. Remove
work, draw threads to underside, fasten
and trim. Cut opening for button with
sharp scissors.
CORDED BUTTONHOLES
Soft threads used for embroidery and
crocheting make suitable filler cords
for corded buttonholes. A fine pearl
cotton (size 8) or silk buttonhole
twist is generally used.
1
Unwind sufficient filler cord to
avoid tension or strain on the
cord.
2
Lead the end of the cord through
the raised eyelet on the Special
Purpose Presser Foot. Draw the
cord under and behind the foot.
3
Proceed with stitching as for
regular buttonholes.
4
Just before making the final bar
tack, cut the filler cord close to
the eyelet guide. Complete the
bar tack and fasten buttonhole
stitching as usual.
5
Carefully trim cord ends.
