A buttonhole is basically an opening in the fabric which the button can slip through. With excessive use the fabric will wear and fray, destroying the buttonhole. Even non-fraying fabrics like felt will stretch and show wear with a lot of use. Binding the fabric edge protects the fabric and creates a strong opening for the button to pass through again and again.
Frayed buttonholes are caused by excessive use of washing or resulting in the fabric wearing out or getting tattered. This also leads to the buttons popping out at the slightest provocation. Follow this guide to repair the buttonhole of your denim or other clothing item.
