BUTTONHOLE
Cording
gives
a
reinforced
raised
buttonhole.
It
is
excellent
for
use
on
bulky,
woven
fabric, 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
to
use
for
the
cording. Proceed
as for
the
turn-around
buttonhole
having cord
the
under
the
presser
foot
in
such
a way
that
the
zigzag
stitch
covers
the
cord.
At
the
completion
of
the
buttonhole
snip
the
excess
cord
close
to
the
bartack
on
woven
fabrics.
For
knitted
garments,
always
pull
the
cords
to
the
wrong
side
by
using
a
darning needle
or
needle
threader,
and
knot
the
cord
ends
before
clipping.
