Buttonholes

Preparing the machine:

Sewing foot: Buttonhole foot
Tension: Ease needle thread tension
Thread: Fine machine embroidery
thread
Stitch length: Buttonhole range
Stitch type: Button 19
Needle: Size 70—80

We distinguish between buttonholes with

and without filler thread. When a filler
thread is used the buttonhole is more
prominent, and on stretch fabrics the use of
a filler thread prevents the buttonhole
stretching out of shape.
As shown in Fig. 1 the fillerthread is placed
over lug C, led under the sewing foot and
clamped in lug D.
Use scale F on the left of the slide
to determine the buttonhole length.
Pull slide out as far as it will go. Lower
needle and sewing foot. Place the button
against the needle. Read the length given
on scale F (Fig. 2) and add up to one gradua
tion on the scale, depending on the button
size.
As you sew, arrow E moves along scale F.
When you have sewn the length required
make 4 to 6 bartacking stitches.
Sew the second buttonhole seam in the
same length, make 4 to 6 bartacking stitches
and a few tying stitches.
Please consult the instruction book for
information on adjusting and operating the
machine.
Sew a trial buttonhole on a scrap piece of
material first.

 Button sewing

Preparing the machine:

Sewing foot: Clear-view foot or without
sewing foot
Stitch type: Button 1 7
Thread: Fine sewing thread

Drop the machine feed.

Move the needle to its left position, and
turn the balance wheel towards you until
the needle descends.
Position the button on the previously
marked material: Carefully place material
and button under the sewing foot holder.
Lower the sewing foot holder and let the
needle stitch into the left hole of the button.
Turn the balance wheel further until the
needle stitches into the right hole of the
button. If necessary, alter the position of the
button. Sew 6 and 8 zigzag stitches (Fig. 1)
Press button 20, release it again, and sew
a few straight stitches in the left hole of the
button.

Buttons with shank

Large buttons in heavy materials require
a shank.
Let the needle stitch into the left hole of
the button. Before lowering the sewing foot
place a sewing machine needle shank or
match on the middle of the button (Fig. 2).
Sew a few zigzag stitches and leave a thread
end about 15 cm long. Pull needle and
bobbin threads through (Fig. 3) and wrap
the stem (Fig. 4). Knot the threads by hand.

Useful hint
Buttons can be kept in position on the
fabric by adhesive tape.
However be careful not to damage the
material.

 Inserting zips

Preparing the machine:

Sewing foot: Zipper foot
Stitch length: 2—3
Stitch type: Button 10
D
Thread: Ordinary sewing thread

How to fit the zipper foot

Insert the rear pin of zipper foot in rear
groove F and push the shoe up until the front
pin enters groove G. This zipper foot can be
positioned to the right, to the left or in the
middle, depending on the sewing operation
involved (Fig. 1).

Completely concealed zip closure

Baste in zip by hand first. Push the zipper
foot to the left as far as it will go. Place
the open zip under the foot so that its teeth
run along the right guiding edge on the sole
of the foot(Fig. 2).Sew about half the length
of the zip at the required width. Leave the
needle down in the material, raise the zipper
foot and close the zip (Fig. 3). Lower the
zipper foot again, continue the seam and
then sew across the end.
Sew the other side of the zip at the same
margin. Shortly before the end of the seam
leave the needle down in the material, raise
the zipper foot and open the zip (Fig. 4).
Lower the zipper foot again and sew to the
end.

Useful hint
We recommend that less experienced
sewers use an edge guide to ensure the
seam is straight and neat.

Zip resembling a seam

D
How the zip is prepared and inserted:

Press the edges of the placket. Fold out

the left seam allowance (Fig. 1). Place the left
side of the open zip in position so that its
teeth protrude a little beyond the pressed
—
edge (Fig. 2). The seam is sewn along this
edge.
Move the zipper foot to the middle so
that the needle stitches into the middle
opening. The zip teeth run into the left
guiding groove in the foot (Fig. 3). At the
beginning of the seam lift up the teeth a little
to feed them into the guiding groove. Sew
the seam to the end and secure it.

 Close zi Pin other side of zip to material
at beginning of seam (Fig. 4). Open zip.
Remove the pin, turn Out the right seam
allowance wth the zip tape, and pin the atter
to the fabric, as shown in Fig. 5. The zip
teeth now run into the right guiding groove
in the foot (Fig. 6). Finish sewing the zip.
Now sew down the zip tape letting the zip
teeth run along the guiding edge of the foot
(Fg. 7).

D Move the zipper foot to the left as far as
it will go. Press the edges of the placket.
Baste the closed zip to the right edge of the
placket on the wrong side so that its teeth
are still visible. Pin facing strip A to the
underside and stitch it down at the same
time as you sew the zip. The zip teeth run
along the right guiding edge of the foot
(Fig. 1). Shortly before the end o the seam
leave the needle down in the fabric, raise the
zipper foot, open the zip. lower the zipper
—0
foot again and finish sewing the seam. Close
the zip.
Pin the overlapping edge along the
intended seam line. Baste left zip edge
(Fig. 2).
Open zip. Attach the edge guide and
position it for the desired seam margin so
that it moves along the edge of the fabric
(Fig. 3). Shortly before the end of the seam
leave the needle down in the fabric, raise
the zipper foot and close the zip. Lower the
zipper foot and finish sewing the seam.
Secure the end of the zip seam with a
bartack.

Useful hint
If the zip sticks after cleaning we recom
mend you rub the teeth with a wax candle
or piece of soap. This makes the zip easier
to open and to close.
