Use the markings on the presser foot scale to set the 
size of the buttonhole. One mark on the presser foot 
scale equals 5 mm (approx. 3/16 inch). 
Add the button diameter and thickness together, and 
then set the plate at the calculated value.

width of the gimp thread, and set the button-

gimp thread.

threads over the buttonhole, trim off the 
threads.

15 mm (approx. 9/16 inch) and a thickness 
of 10 mm (approx. 3/8 inch), the scale 
should be set at 25 mm (approx. 1 inch).
