CORDED BUTTONHOLE
Cording gives a reinforced raised buttonhole. It is
excellent for use on bulky, woven fabric, or knits
in which the stitching often gets buried and
makes cutting difficult. On knits, a corded
buttonhole
will help keep the fabric from
stretching out of shape.
Choose a heavy cotton crochet thread or
buttonhole twist to use for the cording. Proceed
as for the turn-around buttonhole having cord
the under the presser foot in such a way that
the zigzag stitch covers the cord.
At the completion of the buttonhole snip the
excess cord close to the bartack on woven
fabrics. For knitted garments, always pull the
cords to the wrong side by using a darning needle
or needle threader, and knot the cord ends
before clipping.
