Detached buttonhole on irregular shapes

Last time we talked about special rings , I showed you examples that work on squares. But let's face it: working with a perfect square with embroidery on the hands is a very rare event. So let's see how you can apply this technique to the shapes you are likely to use in your embroidery project today!

Suddenly, as I thought about the statistics, I remembered a petal and a leaf. When sewing a fall wedding pattern , I use the empty holes in the form of similar leaves.

Of course, there are many other shapes that would look great when filled with single rings, but I think two examples are enough to get an idea.

To be honest, I don't know any formulas or rules for working with irregularly shaped perforated buttons, so what you will read in this article is the result of my own learning. Maybe there are better and cheaper ways. Unfortunately, I have not found any explanation for this, so I will share what I have learned during my embroidery campaign.

Let's go inside!

So while working with the loop, I noticed that if the shape is wrong, I want to adjust the series of curves to make a straight line, I can continue as a square.

Now this can be confusing, but be patient with me! :)

As you can see, there are two visible vertices in the shape of these petals, which we can work on separately. These rings will create a straight line with a slit in the middle, making it easier to stretch the rings.

Then, in the next row, we draw a curve for the previous ones at the top, and then for the outline cut in the center.

And then it continues to create a "network". Since the shape is tight and it is necessary to reduce the number of loops, my advice is not to skip the loops, as in the photo above.

This will only create a curve.

Yep, BT isn't for me either. In fact, depending on how you knit the buttonholes, you can create different patterns on the button mesh. In the situation pictured above, if you insert the candy from the opposite end where it came from, you will create a hole on both sides. And then you can finish by closing the two hanging arches. This will allow you to create a unique pattern and, if you are looking for it, great!

If not, I recommend cutting out the side sections of the curve to get a set of zipped links. Don't overestimate it, cut it in half and go straight to the whole curve. This way, you will naturally reduce the number of revolutions.

The principle is the same.

Work the top of the sheet first: in this case, two rows. The first detachable seam of the buttonhole is left with pressure divided into 2 halves, and after working in the next row, we cut one half, one whole and one half. This is what we will use for the next series.

Now we can work with a series of curves that connect the directions of the path ...

So let's capture the full curve shown above and then continue capturing the outline.

Keep working with the Split button, and when it comes to other shape extensions, you can redo the entire set of curves by joining the paths and curves from the previous row.

End.

Now do you remember that in some places we used the outlines to fix the loops? As long as your outline is the same color as the loop, that's fine. Otherwise? What if the outline is pink or red and you notice the curves where you left off?

There are two ways to solve this problem:

- Plan ahead . If everything is planned in advance, it is possible to leave small seams in the lower part of the contour, which can be used for the anchor. To be honest, it's tough, all training. Okay, alternatively you can use a second needle threaded and make small stitches as needed while knitting the main buttonhole with the second needle.

- Secondary block . You can get the first simple sketch on the string - it will sew any stitch - and then you can top it off with a bigger, more beautiful stitch. This will cover all the points where the curves connect the first path.

The last word. The examples above are for button controls from the top to the bottom of a form. But you can start by turning the module on its side with the holes for the buttons and parallelizing the rows on the side. I also worked on the leaf shapes for my fall wedding project . You will feel that this method has improved in many cases!
