This now explains why my rayon dress with buttons and buttonholes down the entire front is droopy and loopy. Wish I had seen this sooner. It is not pretty

It would be nice if your example had the buttonholes going in the same direction as the finished piece.

How do you incorporate the embroidery design around the buttonhole? Is the buttonhole not applied with the buttonhole foot? What types of designs would work best in this application?

The one time I did try this. I sewed the buttonholes by machine & then placed the garment into the hoop and embroidered a design going around the buttonhole. Are you doing everything in a 1 step operation?

Thanks, Peg
