buttonholes Most fabrics are suitable for machinestitched buttonholes. If the suitability of the fabric is in doubt, make a test buttonhole in a sample of your fabric, being sure to duplicate the thicknesses of your garment, and include an interfacing. The built-in buttonhole system of your machine allows you to stitch a complete buttonhole up to 11/2 inches in a single step. To make sure the measurement is correct, and for buttons of irregular shape, cut a slit in a scrap of your fabric approximately the width of the button you intend to use, and increase length of opening until button slips through easily. BUTTONHOLE POSITION Accurate guidelines are essential to keep buttonholes at a uniform distance from the edge of the garment, evenly spaced, and on the grain of the material. 1. Mark center line of garment as indicated on your pattern. This guideline can be made by hand basting or machine speed basting and should follow a lengthwise fabric thread. 2. Mark a guideline for each buttonhole. Fabrics may be marked lightly with tailor's chalk. • Horizontal buttonholes are placed to extend 1/8 inch, beyond the center line of the garment, as shown, so that the buttons will be in the center of the figure when the garment is fastened. • Horizontal buttonhole guidelines should follow a crosswise fabric thread and be longer than the finished length of the buttonhole. Mark ends of each buttonhole vertically. • Vertical buttonholes are placed so that the center line of the garment is in the center of the buttonhole, as shown. • Mark the ends of each buttonhole horizontally across the center line basting and use the center line marking as the buttonhole guide when stitching.

buttonholes
Most
fabrics
are
suitable
for
machine
-
stitched
buttonholes.
If
the
suitability
of
the
fabric
is
in
doubt,
make
a
test
buttonhole
in
a
sample
of
your
fabric,
being
sure
to
duplicate
the
thicknesses
of
your
garment,
and
include
an
interfacing.
The
built-in
buttonhole
system
of
your
machine
allows
you
to
stitch
a
complete
but-
tonhole
up
to
1
1
/
2
inches
in
a
single
step.
To
make
sure
the
measurement
is
correct,
and
for
buttons
of
irregular
shape,
cut
a
slit
in
a
scrap
of
your
fabric
approximately
the
width
of
the
button
you
intend
to
use,
and
increase
length
of
opening
until
button
slips
through
easily.
BUTTONHOLE
POSITION
Accurate
guidelines
are
essential
to
keep
but-
tonholes
at
a
uniform
distance
from
the
edge
of
the
garment,
evenly
spaced,
and
on
the
grain
of
the
material.
1.
Mark
center
line
of
garment
as
indicated
on
your
pattern.
This
guideline
can
be
made
by
hand
basting
or
machine
speed
basting
and
should
follow
a
lengthwise
fabric
thread.
2.
Mark
a
guideline
for
each
buttonhole.
Fabrics
may
be
marked
lightly
with
tailor's
chalk.
•
Horizontal
buttonholes
are
placed
to
extend
1
/
8
inch,
beyond
the
center
line
of
the
gar-
ment,
as
shown,
so
that
the
buttons
will
be
in
the
center
of
the
figure
when
the
gar-
ment
is
fastened.
•
Horizontal
buttonhole
guidelines
should
follow
a
crosswise
fabric
thread
and
be
longer
than
the
finished
length
of
the
but-
tonhole.
Mark
ends
of
each
buttonhole
ver-
tically.
•
Vertical
buttonholes
are
placed
so
that
the
center
line
of
the
garment
is
in
the
center
of
the
buttonhole,
as
shown.
•
Mark
the
ends
of
each
buttonhole
horizon-
tally
across
the
center
line
basting
and
use
the
center
line
marking
as
the
buttonhole
guide
when
stitching.
