bLower the presser foot and start sewing.

Memo

•Set the width of the satin stitches to the width of the gimp thread, and set the button- hole width to be 2-3 times the width of the gimp thread.

cOnce sewing is completed, gently pull the gimp thread to remove any slack, and trim off any excess.

Memo

•After using the seam ripper to cut open the threads over the buttonhole, trim off the threads.

■Odd Shaped Buttons/Buttons that do Not Fit into the Button Holder Plate

Use the markings on the presser foot scale to set the size of the buttonhole. One mark on the presser foot scale equals 5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch).

Add the button diameter and thickness together, and then set the plate at the calculated value.
