Buttonhole Variations

All buttonholes should use interfacing that is the same weight as the fabric.
Interfacing is especially important when sewing on stretch fabrics.
Classic Buttonhole (Sensor or 4 Step Memory)
The most common buttonhole, found on blouses, shirts, pants, etc. It consists of
a bartack at each end and a compact zigzag stitch along each side.
Classic Keyhole Buttonhole
Accommodates the shank found on large buttons used on heavy coats and
jackets.
Rounded Buttonhole
Use this buttonhole for large buttons on lightweight fabric.
Stretch Buttonhole
Designed for non-woven fabrics such as knit and jersey. It provides a decorative
touch.
Knit Buttonhole
A simplified version of the stretch buttonhole.
Bound Buttonhole (4 Step Memory)
Made through the garment and interfacing before the facing is applied, resulting
in finished fabric edges, a custom tailored touch. Often found on garments made
from natural fibers.
Test sew the buttonhole on a sample swatch of the same fabric. Include the
interfacing and any seam allowances that will be in the actual garment. This is
very important to ensure the buttonhole style and fabric are compatible.
