only one or two buttons.

Choose this style for series of buttonholes
on dresses, blouses, vests, jackets or
coats.

Choose this style for tailored vests,
jackets, coats or any time you need more
room for button shank.
Tips on buttonholing
Always make a practice buttonhole on a
scrap of fabric you plan to use. Try the
buttonhole with the button you will use.
Always use an interfacing in area of
garment where buttonholes are placed.
Tissue paper or regular interfacing can
be used. Tear paper away after stitch
ing, if it is used.
For heavier weight fabrics, loosen your
top thread tension slightly.
