When sewing buttonholes on stretch
fabric, hook heavy thread or cord under
the buttonhole 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 tie them there
temporarily. 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.

stretch fabrics
Please Note:
It is suggested that you use interfacing
on the backside of the fabric.
