You can make a purl-edge buttonhole by sewing

a wide buttonhole over a narrow stitched but- tonhole. Machine settings are the same as for a

round-end buttonhole. Simply choose the cor- rect size purl-edge template for your button. But be sure to adjust stitch width control to 1.

Sew around the buttonhole once, Then remove guJdeplate and turn template to the wider size purl-edge. Adjust stitch width to 1½ and sew

around buttonhole again.

Yes, these are tricky -- but worth it for fine gar- ments._ There are a number of ways, most re- quiring sewing exact-size rectangles. There are several-size templates included with your Ken-

more attachments. Use them as for other but- tonholes but set machine as indicated at right.

For nearest, easiest bound buttonholes, use an

iron-on interfacing on underside of fabric. This is essential with stretch fabrics or those that tend to fray easily,
