Remove the paper and measure the distance between the marks. Divide that distance by 2 and add 1/8", and that's your buttonhole length. (You may have to finesse it for buttons with shanks or odd-shaped buttons, but works great for your average round buttons with holes.) 8/11/11 3:26 PM

As far as interfacing goes you can't beat Fashion Sewing Supply. I found them through other PR members and have never looked back. 8/11/11 10:34 PM
