is recommended
on
heavy
fabrics.

Use
presser
foot
No.

for buttonholes
that
are to
be
sewn
very
close
to
a
reinforced
edge.
•
Materials
that
shift
or
stretch
easily
should
be
reinforced
with
water-soluble,
tissue
paper
or
other
lightweight
stabilizer.
•
Keyhole
buttonholes
are
particularly
stable
and durable
if
a
gimp
thread
is
inserted
while
sewing
(see
“Keyhole
buttonhole
with
gimp
thread).
•
Linen
buttonholes
are
particularly
dense
and
attractive
if
you
use
buttonhole
twist
thread.
•
Buttonholes
are
normally
selected
a
little
larger
than
the
button
diameter.
It
is
important
to
always
sew
a
test
buttonhole
on
the
same
fabric/stabilizer
as
your
project
