Corded Buttonhole
(Stretch Fabrics)
When sewing buttonholes in stretch fabrics
we recommend cording the buttonhole to
increase the stability and to keep the but-
tonhole from stretching out.
1. Loop a piece of heavy thread or pearl
cotton over the finger at the back of

the foot, toward the front, then secure

columns will stitch over the cord.
3. When the buttonhole is finished, lift

slack.
4. Thread the cord ends into a needle, pull
to the wrong side and tie ends before
cutting excess.

Carefully cut your buttonhole
open with a seam ripper.
Use seam ripper and cut the buttonhole
open from both ends towards the middle.

Note: Density varies according to the fabric. Al-
ways test sew a buttonhole on the fabric you are
using to sew the buttonhole.
Tips:
• Slightly reducing upper thread tension will
produce better results.
• Use an extra stabilizer for fine or stretchy
fabrics.
