Buttonhole Variations

All buttonholes should use interfacing that is the same
weight as the fabric. Interfacing is especially important
when sewing on stretch fabrics.
11 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.
12 Classic Keyhole Buttonhole
Accommodates the shank found on large buttons used
on heavy coats and jackets.
13 Jeans Buttonhole
Traditionally found on ready to wear jeans and other
denim garments.
14 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 style - 11 through 14.
Alter the buttonhole width to match the fabric and thread.
See page 39.
