SEWING BUTTONHOLES AND BUTTONS
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 an actual garment.
● When making buttonholes on soft fabrics,
place a stabilizer material on the underside
of the fabric.
Making a buttonhole is a simple process that
provides reliable results.
