CHOOSING BUTTONHOLE STYLE AND SIZE
Each buttonholing
will be different so you will
want
to
experiment
with
your
garment,
considering fabric and placement
of button.
Here are some basic applications:
Straight
buttonholes
are most
popular
for
everyday sewing
-
for series of buttons on
dress, blouse, vest, jacket or coat.
Keyhole
buttonholes
are a variation
of the
above, with an enlarged opening at one end
to allow more room for button Shank. These
are normally used in tailored
vests, jackets,
coats.
Eyelet
buttonholes
(another
variation
of
"straight")
most often are used for studs on
skirts or holes for tongues of belt buckles.
