Three
kinds
of
buttonholes
can
be sewn,
viz.
braided
buttonholes,
buttonholes
with
inlaid
thread and
buttonholes
with
raised
stitches"
The two
first types
of
buttonhole
are
sewn
with weak
tension
of
the
upper
thread,
with No.
40 darning
thread.
For the last
type,
a Yery
weak tension
for
the
under
thread
should be used,
while the
upper
thread
should
be so tight
that the
under thread is
visible on
the
upper
surface
of
the
cloth.
A
No.
40 6-twist thread
is
recomrnended
for use
as
the
rrpper
thread
for
the last
type
of
buttonhole,
with
a \rery
{inc
under thread, sxy,
No. 60.
Rolled hem"

best suited
for thin

and
for
