How Large Should I Make My Buttonholes?
To determine buttonhole size, measure the diameter and thickness of your button and
add these two measurements together. Or, measure the diameter of your button and
add about 1/8”.
Test by cutting a slit this size in a scrap of your fabric and passing your button through
it, making sure it has just enough, but not too much room to pass through.
Also, sew a couple of test buttonholes in a scrap of your fabric before making the final
buttonholes in your finished item.
