Tips on buttonholing
Always make a practice buttonhole on a scrap of fabric you plan to
use. Try the buttonhole with the button you will use.
Always use an interfacing in area of garment where buttonholes are
placed.
Tissue paper or regular interfacing can be used. Tear paper away after
stitching, if it is used..
For heavier weight fabrics, loosen your top thread tension slightly.
3.
Keyhole buttonholes (Template No. 213506007).
Choose this style for tailored vests, jackets, coats or any time you
need more room for button shank.
