Cutting Buttonholes; Corded Buttonholes - White 1927 Instruction Book

Cutting Buttonholes
Stick a needle through bar tacks
to prevent over-cutting.
Cut buttonhole along center with
buttonhole cutter.
Corded Buttonholes
For stretch fabrics such as knits,
a corded buttonhole is effective
to keep finished
buttonhole
in shape.
Hook filler cord on top spur and
lead ends of cord under foot, pull
taut, and hook them to bottom
notches as shown.
Proceed with stitching as for
regular buttonholes.
When buttonhole is completed,
pull filler cord ends so that loop
on the other end disappears into
buttonhole stitching.
Thread ends of cord to reverse
