TURN-AROUND BUTTONHOLE
It is possible to make small and dainty button
holes if you desire, or to repair damaged
buttonholes.
This entails slightly moving the
cloth but, with some practise, good button
holes can be achieved.
1. Set the stitch length dial at the
ft
mark,
or density you desire.
2. Choose the desired width of your button
hole.
Example: If you want a buttonhole with a
width of
1/8"
,
set the stitch
width dial on half this width, i.e.
1 / 16".
3. Start at your marked position, sew down
on the left side of buttonhole to the other
end of the marking.
Leave the needle in
the cloth at the right side of stitches and
rotate your cloth. Sew down on the right
side of buttonhole to other end.
4. Reset the stitch pattern dial to bartack, in
this case,
at the position of the width of
1/8': set your feed dog at, align your
stitch width with the end of buttonhole,
sew several stitches, repeat for the other
end.

CORDED BUTTONHOLE
Cording gives a reinforced, raised buttonhole.
It is excellent for use on bulky, woven fabrics,
or knits in which the stitching often gets
buried and makes cutting difficult. On knits,
a corded buttonhole will help keep the fabric
from stretching out of shape.
Choose a heavy cotton crochet thread or
buttonhole twist for the cording. Proceed as
for either the built-in buttonhole or the turn
around buttonhole, placing the cord under the
foot in such a way that the zigzag stitch
covers the cord.
After completing the buttonhole, snip the
excess cord close to the bartack on woven
fabrics. For knitted garments, always pull the
cords through to the wrong side, using a
darning needle or needle threader, and knot
cord ends before clipping.
