BUTTONHOLE MAKING
Always make a practice buttonhole on a scrap of fabric you plan to use. Try the buttonhole with the button you will use.
Use an interfacing between the layers of fabric - tissue paper can be used and torn away after the stitching.
For heavier weight fabrics, loosen your top tension slightly and use a wider stitch w{dth setting.
