buttonhole

Fastener for clothing, used with a button. There are two main types of buttonhole. In one type, a slit in fabric is prevented from fraying by either stitching or binding. In the other type, a loop is made, through which the button will fasten.

A stitched buttonhole is suitable for most fabrics. If created by hand, buttonhole stitch is usually used. If created by machine, zig-zag stitch is usually used. A bound buttonhole is found more often on coats or jackets. Buttonhole loops are usually used as a decorative fastening.
