Make
bar
tack
by
repeating
S
and

above
step
4
10.
Return
stitch
width
to
0
and
take
two
or
three
stitches
to
fasten
bar
threads
and
prevent
raveling.
Cut
the
buttonhole
opening
with
the
seam
ripper,
being
careful
not
to
cut
the
stitching.
If
you
plan
to
make
buttonholes
on
sheer
or
soft
material,
place
tarlatan
or
paper,
which
can
be
torn
away
after
stitching,
under
the
fabric.
And
it
is
always
wise
to
make
several
buttonholes
on
scraps
of
fabric
before
working
on
the
garment.
For
narrower
buttonholes,
set
the
left
stitch
width
lock
at
less
than
2,
the
right
lock
at
the
setting
which
will
produce
a
bar
tack
twice
as
wide
as
one
bank
of
buttonhole
stitching.
