bUuOflnoies Buttonhole tips: • A wider, less dense buttonhole is recommended on heavy fabrics. • Use presser foot No. 1 for buttonholes that are to be sewn very close to a reinforced edge. • Materials that shift or stretch easily should be reinforced with water-soluble, tissue paper or other lightweight stabilizer. • Keyhole buttonholes are particularly stable and durable if a gimp thread is inserted while sewing (see "Keyhole buttonhole with gimp thread). • Linen buttonholes are particularly dense and attractive if you use buttonhole twist thread. • Buttonholes are normally selected a little larger than the button diameter. It is important to always sew a test buttonhole on the same fabric/stabilizer as your project 76
