Making a Buttonhole
(1-Step Automatic Buttonhole)
Memo
● We recommend that you practice making a
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before
you try it on the actual garment.
● When making buttonholes on soft fabrics,
place stabilizer material on the underside of
the fabric.
Making a buttonhole is a simple process that
provides reliable results.

length of the buttonhole on the fabric.
