it. If a button is much concaved, the pin may be placed underneath. The pin is removed before winding.

. In sewing on a four-hole button, the stitches should be made symmetrically, either parallel or crossed, bu^ not both. If parallel or in a two-holed button the stitches should run in the line of the buttonhole. The thread should always be fastened securely at the beginning and at the end of the work. Place the knot upon the outside of the garment where it may be cut off when the button is sewed securely. The knot is sometimes placed under the button. Cloak In sewing buttons on a cloak or coat an extra strip

of canvas or silesia over the canvas interlining should be placed the entire length of the buttoning for strength. This should be applied before the work on the garment is too far advanced and if cut sufficiently wide, will allow of any slight alteration. The sewing should go through the canvas facing and stay, but not through the under side or facing of the material.

In sewing buttons on bodices a tape should be sewed over the front basting for a stay. If sufficient material has not been allowed for a lap, this should be added, as a lap is necessary under the opening of such buttonholes.

Buttons may be sewed through lining having a small button on the wrong side. This method prevents the cloth from tearing and makes an ornamental finish as well as a substantial one.
