8Optionally, use the Cut Buttonhole Slit tool under the Cutwork toolbox to generate a cutting line for selected buttonholes.
If a buttonhole has been placed over other objects, some of the underlying stitches could unravel after the slit has been cut. To prevent this, objects under the buttonhole can be reshaped so that their boundaries line up along buttonhole slit.
