length and width by sewing a trial 
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric.
● When opening the buttonhole with the seam 
ripper, do not place your hands in the cutting 
path, otherwise injuries may result if the seam 
ripper slips. Do not use the seam ripper in any 
other way than how it is intended.
