White 310 - Turn-Around Buttonhole; Corded Buttonhole

TURN-AROUND
BUTTONHOLE
It is
possible
to
make
small
and
dainty
button
holes
if you
desire,
or
to
repair
damaged
buttonholes.
This
entails
slightly
moving
the
cloth but,
with
some
practise,
good
button
holes
can be
achieved.
1.
Set
the stitch
length dial
at
the
ft
mark,
or density
you
desire.
2.
Choose
the
desired
width
of your
button
hole.
Example:
If
you
want
a
buttonhole
with
a
width
of
1/8”
,
set
the
stitch
width
dial
on
half this
width, i.e.
1
/
16”.
3.
Start at
your
marked
position,
sew
down
on
the left
side
of buttonhole
to
the other
end of
the marking.
Leave the
needle
in
the
cloth at
the
right
side
of stitches
and
rotate
your cloth.
Sew
down on
the
right
side
of buttonhole
to other
end.
4.
Reset
the
stitch
pattern
dial to
bartack,
in
this
case,
at
the
position
of the
width
of
1/8’:
set
your
feed
dog
at,
align
your
stitch
width with
the end
of
buttonhole,
sew
several
stitches,

for the
other
end.

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