awesome video! Only thing I was a bit confused on was the measurements for where the top of the buttonhole is placed when doing vertical holes. Specifically why you went 1 cm down from the top and then 6 cm minus half the button width for the next one?

Thanks for your comment. The main thing is to focus on where the centre of the buttonhole is so that the buttons are evenly spaced. So I always measure a fully stitched buttonhole so I can measure accurately where to start the next buttonhole. The start point for vertical buttonholes will be half the width of the buttonhole above the centre of the button. Hopefully that helps?

Watching this while I rip out buttonholes that did not space out well on another pattern 🥲
