Create professional dress shirts with ease by finishing off the button holes using this steel blade buttonhole cutter. Eliminate the frustrating process of cutting a button hole using scissors or a seam ripper as you then run the risk of cutting your fabric or finished button holes. Similar to a chisel, you will insert the tip of this buttonhole cutter in the center of the button hole and rock it back and forth until you cut through to the other side. Be sure to place a piece of cardboard or other protective material behind the fabric when cutting.
