tips
Buttonholes
that are
to be
sewn
very
close to
a
reinforced
edge,
may
sometimes
not
feed
optimally
with
the Buttonhole
foot.
In this
case,
use
presser
foot

with the
Integrated
Dual
Feed
engaged.
Fabrics
that
shift
or stretch
easily
should
be
reinforced
with
water-soluble,
tissue
paper
or
other
lightweight
stabilizer.
Buttonholes
are particularly
stable
and
durable
if a gimp
thread
is inserted
while
sewing
(see
“Buttonholes
with
gimp
thread”).
Linen
buttonholes
are
particularly
attractive
if
you
use a
heavier-weight thread
through
a topstitch
needle.
