buttonhole system. Before sewing on your garment always
make a test buttonhole duplicating the number of thicknesses
of fabric and interfacing if appropriate.

Accurate guidelines are essential to keep buttonholes at a

uniform distance from the edge of the garment, evenly spaced,

and on the grain of the fabric.

1. Mark the centre line of the garment using hand basting,

or using tailor’s chalk.

• Be sure that the space from the centre line to the finished

edge of the garment is at least equal to threequarters the
diameter of the button. With this spacing, the button will
not extend beyond the edge when the garment is buttoned.

• Make sure that the centre line marking follows a length

wise fabric thread.
