Fig. 26: Threading the gimp thread (4)
3. Sew the buttonhole and check whether the gimp is pulled back
far enough.
For sub-classes 141 and 341, the gimp thread may have
to
be rethreaded as shown in B.

5.9 Adjusting the thread tension
The thread tensions depend on the type and quality of the thread
as well as on the sewing material. The buttonhole looks best when
sewn with the lowest possible thread tension.
Overly tight thread tensions can result in undesired ruffing and
thread breakages with thin materials.
