BUTTONHOLE MAKING
Always make a practice buttonhole
on a scrap of fabric you plan to use.
Try the buttonhole with the button you
will use.
Use an interfacing between the layers
of fabric - tissue paper can be used
and torn away after the stitching.
For heavier weight fabrics, loosen your
top tension slightly and use a wider
stitch w{dth setting.
