Hi all--
I just took a quick look at this article, and I am reminded of a problem that's been troubling me for months now. I'm sewing pants and jackets from Roma Ponte fabric -- a very soft, comfortable knit fabric. Great to sew with, except for one thing. I cannot make a reasonable buttonhole in the stuff. Can anyone give me some suggestions for sewing (and cutting) buttonholes in this mid-weight knit fabric? I've been using different types of iron-on pellon and suit-weight knit interfacing inside my jacket fronts, and each time (three jackets so far...) the buttonholes turn out horrid. It's absolutely maddening to come right to the end of a gorgeous garment, sew a buttonhole, watch it stretch, cut it, and (through the tears) (well, not really; let's get real) watch it scallop. This is going to make a nudist out of me yet -- I'll just give up clothes entirely!
