blouses,

jackets
or

Tips on buttonholing
Always make a practice buttonhole on a
scrap of fabric you plan to use. Try the
buttonhole with the button you will use.
Always
use an interfacing
in area of
garment
where buttonholes
are placed.
Tissue paper or regular interfacing
can
be used. Tear paper away after stitch-
ing, if it is used.
For heavier weight fabrics, loosen your
top thread tension slightly.
