Cording
gives
a
reinforced
raised
buttonhole.
It is excellent for use on bulky, woven fabric,
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
to
use
for
cording.
Proceed
as
for
the
built-in
buttonhole

Loop cord around the front prong and under
the presser foot in such a way that the zigzag
stitch covers the cord.
At
the completion of the buttonhole snip the
excess
cord
close
to
the
bartack
on
woven
fabrics. For knitted garments, always pull the
cords to the wrong side by using a darning
needle or needle threader and knot the cord
ends before clipping.
Stretch Buttonhole
This buttonhole is used on knit fabrics when
it is desirable to omit interfacing or cording.
This
buttonhole
will
stretch
and
return
to
shape
unlike
an
ordinary
zigzag
buttonhole.
The ifisX pattern of the stitch makes the bu
ttonholes
nearly
invisible
when
using
match
ing thread. It is excellent to use on jerseys,
double knits, and sweater fabrics. (Fig.91)
