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.
