Httonhoes lh PFAFF eletronic 6250 offers you diftuient buttonhole sewing programs to choose from. [)t’pending on the material and type of work, you can choose between three different buttonhole programs. Buttonholes are generally sewn onto a piece of doubled fabric. However, for some mateiials, eg. silk, organza and viscous fabric, it is necessary to use a stabilizer to prevent the material from puckering during sewing. To produce beautiful seams, good embroidering or darning threads are ideally suitable.

Embroidering leather With the PFAFF electronic 6250 you can embroider leather with no problem at all. Since leather stretches easily, you should use an irore on backing or place two layers of stabilizer under it. The stitch length should not be set too short, because leather tears between stitch holes easily, too. Embroidering leather can he made even easier by using a teflon sewing foot The teflon covering allows the foot to slide easily over the leather.
