Linen
buttonhole
with
gimp
thread
To
sew
especially
durable
buttonholes,
e.g.
on
sportswear,
we
recommend
using
a
gimp
thread.
On
elastic
materials
the
gimp
thread
is
particularly
important
to
prevent
the
but
tonhole
from
stretching.
•
Lay
the
gimp
thread
over
the
rear
pro
trusion
A
and
pass
the
thread
ends
un
derneath
the
presser
foot

runner

but
tonhole
as
described
in the

column.
•
Pull
the
loop
of
the
gimp
thread
into
