Reinforce Buttonhole

When sewing buttonholes on stretch fabric or coat fabric, hook a filler cord under the buttonhole foot. The filler cord is guided along with the buttonhole foot. Mercerized yarn or fine crochet thread is suitable as a filler cord.

  1. Fit the buttonhole foot with slide.
  2. Pull out the button holder plate and insert the button.
  3. Hang the thread over the hook behind the presser foot and then lay it over the presser foot.
  5. Hook both ends of the thread on the front of the presser foot, guide them into the groove and tie them together temporarily.
  6. Adjust the stitch length and stitch width.
  7. Lower the presser foot.
  8. Press the buttonhole lever all the way down and press it backwards slightly until it clicks in position.
  9. Use the foot control to start sewing.
  11. The buttonhole will sew over the cord, covering it.
  12. Pull the cord loop until the loop disappears in the bartack.
  13. Pull the ends of the cord through to the wrong side of the fabric (using a hand stitching-needle), knot or secure with stitches.
