to make a hole in the rounded end of the
buttonhole, and then use the seam ripper to cut
open the buttonhole.

• When using the eyelet punch, place thick
paper or some other protective sheet under
the fabric before punching the hole in the
fabric.

seam ripper, do not place your hands in
the cutting direction, otherwise injuries
may result if the seam ripper slips.
■ Changing the density of the stitching

stitching.
