Buttonholes
Balance for keyhole and round buttonholes
· any balance alterations affect both beads differently
(see picture for stitch counter buttonhole)
· the keyhole or eye is balanced as follows:
if keyhole is distorted to the right (picture A):
· use the "up” arrow to correct it
if keyhole is distorted to the left (picture B):
· use the "down" arrow to correct it
Balance for stitch counter buttonholes
· any balance alterations affect the
first
(left) bead:
Bead too dense
– if the first bead looks like
A, use the “down” arrow to correct it
Bead not dense enough –
if the first bead looks like B,
use the “up” arrow to correct it
· always stitch a new sample to reprogram the buttonhole after
any changes are made to the balance
Clear balance
· press the external clr button
Corded Buttonhole
· gimp cord reinforces buttonholes and enhances their
appearance
· the loop of the cord should be at the end of the
buttonhole most subject to wear or where the button is
sewn on
· position the work accordingly
· gimp cord is particularly recommended for standard
and stretch buttonholes
Suitable cords:
· Perle yarn No. 8
· strong hand sewing thread
· fine crochet yarn
· gimp cord
Hooking the cord onto presser foot No. 3C
· insert the needle at the beginning of the buttonhole
· raise the presser foot
· hook the cord over the center toe of the foot
· place both ends of the cord in the grooves on the sole
of the foot and pull them to the back
· lower the presser foot
Sewing
· sew the buttonhole in the usual manner
· do not hold the cord tightly
· the buttonhole will form over the cord, covering it
Securing the cord
· pull the cord through the buttonhole until the loop
disappears into the end of it
· pull the ends of the cord through to back of the fabric
· knot or secure with stitches
