Memo/Recuerde

We recommend that you practice making a buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before you try it on an actual garment.

When making buttonholes on soft fabrics, place a stabilizer material on the underside of the fabric.

Es aconsejable que practique la realización de ojales en una retal de prueba antes de intentarlo en la prenda real.

Para realizar ojales en telas suaves, coloque un material estabilizador debajo de la tela.
