Hold Their Shape.

To make a strong button hole in. lace, baste a strip of lawn firmly under the lace, then cut the buttonhole and work as usual. When the work is finished cut away the lawn close to the stitches and you have a firm and perfect buttonhole, says .Good Housekeeping. The large eyelets in French embroidery are often hard to make. Whgn they are worked first In outline stitch, as one would a stem, and then cut out and embroidered they hold their shape much better.
