Notes:
- Straight stitch buttonholes can be used to pre-sew and reinforce buttonholes on fabrics
which fray easily. The buttonhole beads and bartacks will cover the stitching. Any of the
methods for determining the buttonhole lengths can be used.
- Straight stitch buttonholes can be used as a buttonhole on imitation suede and leather.
- The distance between the prestitched lines can be adjusted with the stitch width.
