PROFESSIONAL
TOUCH
You can make a purl-edge buttonhole by sewing
a wide buttonhole over a narrow stitched but-
tonhole. Machine settings are the same as for a
round-end buttonhole. Simply choose the cor-
rect size purl-edge template for your button. But
be sure to adjust stitch width control to 1.
Sew around the buttonhole once, Then remove
guJdeplate and turn template to the wider size
purl-edge. Adjust stitch width to 1½ and sew
around buttonhole again.

Yes, these are tricky -- but worth it for fine gar-
ments._ There are a number of ways, most re-
quiring sewing exact-size rectangles. There are
several-size templates included with your Ken-
more attachments. Use them as for other but-
tonholes but set machine as indicated at right.
For nearest, easiest bound buttonholes, use an
iron-on interfacing on underside of fabric. This
is essential with stretch fabrics or those that
tend to fray easily,
