No one more deserving. Shirley is the epitome of class and elegance. While explaining her methods she leads you to believe that "you can do this". Her Sewing Connection PBS series surpasses any which are now or have been on TV.

I just searched the Embroidery Library site. Type "buttonholes" in the search box and this will take you to two pages of buttonholes. There are some which would fit the criteria for stitching on a blouse, shirt or jacket. Also, there are regular buttonholes in graduated lengths.

Buttonholes made on an embroidery machine are far more accurate than ones made on a regular sewing machine.

The buttonhole spacer has been on the market forever. I am more interested in the embellished buttonholes. It would be beneficial if Threads would post sites where these items could be found. Embroidery Library has some, but most are very "cutesy".
