buttonholes Horizontal Placement on Crosswise Grain I I 1 Center Line 14- of Garment Vertical Placement on Lengthwise Grain Buttonhole Length Guide Markings BUTTONHOLE POSITION Accurate guidelines are essential to keep buttonholes a uniform distance from the faced edge of the garment, evenly spaced, and on the grain of the fabric. For center closures, place guidelines as follows: 1. Mark the center line of the garment as indicated on your pattern. This guideline can be hand basted and should follow a lengthwise fabric thread. 2. Mark a position guideline for each buttonhole. ° Horizontal buttonholes are placed to extend 3 mm beyond the center-line basting of the garment. Horizontal guidelines for the buttonholes should follow a crosswise thread of the fabric, and, if basted, be longer than the finished length of the buttonhole. Determine the length of the buttonhole (as described below) and mark ends of each buttonhole vertically. • Vertical buttonholes are placed so that the center-line basting of the garment is in the center of the buttonholes. Determine buttonhole length and mark ends of each buttonhole horizontally across the center line and use the center-line basting as a buttonhole guide when stitching. Button Button Opening i Opining Bar Tacks Length of Button Opening 28 Buttonhole Stitching BUTTONHOLE LENGTH First, decide how long the button opening must be. Then, add 2 mm to the measurement for each bar tack (the closing stitches at each end of the buttonhole). To find the length of the button opening, cut a slit in a scrap of fabric the diameter of the button you intend to use. Increase length of opening until button slips through easily.

BUTTONHOLE
POSITION
Accurate
guidelines
are
essential
to
keep
buttonholes
a
uniform
distance
from
the
faced
edge
of
the
garment,
evenly
spaced,
and
on
the
grain
of
the
fabric.
For
center
closures,
place
guidelines
as
follows:
1.
Mark
the
center
line
of
the
garment
as
indicated
on
your
pattern.
This
guide-
line
can
be
hand
basted
and
should
follow
a
lengthwise
fabric
thread.
2.
Mark
a
position
guideline
for
each
buttonhole.
°
Horizontal
buttonholes
are
pla-
ced
to
extend
3
mm
beyond
the
center
-line
basting
of
the
gar-
ment.
Horizontal
guidelines
for
the
buttonholes
should
follow
a
cross-
wise
thread
of
the
fabric,
and,
if
basted,
be
longer
than
the
finished
length
of
the
buttonhole.
Determine
the
length
of
the
buttonhole
(as
described
below)
and
mark
ends
of
each
buttonhole
vertically.
•
Vertical
buttonholes
are
placed
so
that
the
center
-line
basting
of
the
garment
is
in
the
center
of
the
buttonholes.
Determine
buttonhole
length
and
mark
ends
of
each
button-
hole
horizontally
across
the
center
line
and
use
the
center
-line
basting
as
a
buttonhole
guide
when
stitch-
ing.
BUTTONHOLE
LENGTH
First,
decide
how
long
the
button
ope-
ning
must
be.
Then,
add
2
mm
to
the
measurement
for
each
bar
tack
(the
closing
stitches
at
each
end
of
the
but-
tonhole).
To
find
the
length
of
the
but-
ton
opening,
cut
a
slit
in
a
scrap
of
fa-
bric
the
diameter
of
the
button
you
in-
tend
to
use.
Increase
length
of
opening
until
button
slips
through
easily.
