Fig. 760. Wheel composed of button-hole bars. Making and taking up the loops.
Fig. 761. Wheel composed of button-hole bars. The button-holing begun.
Fig. [760] shows how the first eight loops which form the foundation of the bars are made.
In fig. [761] you will see that a thread has been passed through the loops, for the purpose of drawing them in and making a ring in addition to which, two threads added to the loop serve as padding for the button-hole stitches; the latter should always be begun on the braid side. Fig. [762] represents the bar begun in fig. [761] completed, and the passage of the thread to the next bar, and fig. [763] the ring button-holed after the completion of all the bars.
