Buttonhole Length

• The buttonhole length should be just long enough to

allow the button to slip through the opening without
stretching it.

• To make sure the measurement is correct, cut a slit

in a scrap of fabric equal to the diameter of the but­

ton you intend to use.

• Increase length of opening until button slips through

easily.

This test is particularly advisable for buttons of un­

usual shape or thickness.
