Buttonhole Variations

All buttonholes should use interfacing that is the same

weight as the fabric. Interfacing is especially important

when sewing on stretch fabrics.

11 Classic Buttonhole

The most common buttonhole, found on blouses, shirts,

pants, etc. It consists of a bartack at each end and a

compact zigzag stitch along each side.

12 Classic Keyhole Buttonhole

Accommodates the shank found on large buttons used

on heavy coats and jackets.

13 Jeans Buttonhole

Traditionally found on ready to wear jeans and other

denim garments.

14 Stretch Buttonhole

Designed for non-woven fabrics such as knit and jersey.

It provides a decorative touch

Test sew the buttonhole on a sample swatch of the same

fabric. Include the interfacing and any seam allowances

that will be in the actual garment. This is very important

to ensure the buttonhole style and fabric are compatible.

Select a buttonhole style - 11 through 14.

Alter the buttonhole width to match the fabric and thread.

See page 39.
