Buttonhole Position

Accufato guidelines are essential to keep

buttonholes a uniform distance from the

faced edge of the garment, evenly spaced,

and on the grain of the fabric. For centre
closures, place guidelines as follows:

L Mark the centre line of the garment as

indicated on your pattern. This guide­
line can be hand basted and should

follow a lengthwise fabric thread,

2, Mark a position guideline for each

buttonhole,

# Horizonial buttonholes are placed

to extend 3mrn (J'') beyond the
centre-lino basting of the garment.

Horizontal guidelines for the button­
holes should follow a crosswise
thread of the fabric and. if basted,
be longer than the finished length

of the buttonhole* Determine the

length of the buttonhole (as de­
scribed below) and mark ends of

each buttonhole vertically,

% Venicaf buttonholes are placed so

that the centre-line basting of the
garment is in the centre of the

buttonholes. Determine buttonhole
length and mark ends of each

buttonhole horizontally across the

centre line and use the centre-line
basting as a buttonhole guide when
stitching.

Buttonhole length

First, decide how long the button open­

ing must be. then, add 2mm (1/1 O'") to

the measurement for each bar tack (the
closing stitches at each end of the

buttonhole).
To find the length of the button opening,
cut a slit in a scrap of fabric the diameter
of the button you intend to use. Increase
length of opening until button slips
through easily.
