Buttonhole Variations

All buttonholes should use interfacing that is the
same weight as the fabric. Interfacing is especially
important when sewing on stretch fabrics.
j Classic Buttonhole
The most common buttonhole, found on
blouses, shirts, pants, etc. It consists of a
bartack at each end and a compact zigzag stitch
along each side. Set the stitch width to narrow
for lightweight fabrics and wide for heavyweight
fabrics.
k Keyhole Buttonhole
Accommodates the shank found on large but-
tons used on heavy coats and jackets.
l Jeans Buttonhole
Traditionally found on ready-to-wear jeans and
other denim garments.
m Stretch Buttonhole
Designed for non-woven fabrics such as knit and
jersey. It provides a decorative touch.
Test sew the buttonhole on a sample swatch of the
same fabric. Include the interfacing and any seam
allowances that will be in the actual garment. This is
very important to ensure the buttonhole style and
fabric are compatible.
Select a buttonhole. Alter the buttonhole width to
match the fabric and thread. See page 42.
When attaching buttonhole foot, make sure the but-
ton opening is at the back of the foot.
