Havn't done those in years,so all i can say is Keep Practicing!!! LOL Maybe go to the library and look at some sewing books,i'm thinking the Singer series of books should have something.

Just googled it and there are several sites that show you how,here's one of them:

Just put "making bound buttonholes in the google search engine,and you'll find several more.HTH

I got the directions, Kathi, and I've been practising, but I'm too chicken to do them on the coat. I'm going to take it to a tailor, who said it will be two weeks till he gets to it. Oh, well, I've dawdled this long....He's charging only $4. per buttonhole, so it can't be too hard. My DH wonders if I'll be satisfied with his work or be sad that I didn't do it myself. Good question.

Thanks for the suggestions. BTW, the directions seem easy enough, I'm just giving up.
