Vertical buttonholes C are placed so that the
center line A of the garment is in the center of
the buttonhole, as shown.
• Mark the ends of each buttonhole
horizontally across the center line basting
and use the center line marking as the
buttonhole guide when stitching.
Buttonhole Length
o The buttonhole length should be just long
enough to allow the button to slip through
the opening without stretching it.
• To make sure the measurement is correct,
cut a slit in a scrap of fabric equal to the
diameter of the button you intend to use.
• Inaease length of opening until button slips
through easily.
This test is particularly advisable for buttons of
unusual shape or thickness.
