I am 70 years old and have been sewing since I was 9. I never knew what that black button on the presser foot was for. Thanks for teaching an old dog new tricks.
It's truly wonderful to hear that you've discovered something new after so many years of sewing! Your passion for the craft is inspiring, and it just goes to show that we can all keep learning no matter how experienced we are. Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment.
doubleneedle...my dad's mom was a seamstress but she never taught my sister and I anything (I just picked up sewing as a hobby a few yrs ago - I am 57). Can you imagine how much she could have taught us if she wanted to?
Am also 70 and been using a machine since I was 9 without knowing what the black button is for! Unfortunately had no guidance until recently from TH-cam, but better late than never.
That's such a wonderful compliment, thank you! It just goes to show that the journey of learning and improving in sewing, or any craft, really has no end. I'm honored to be able to provide insights that can add to your vast experience.
Thank you for this ‘unsolved mystery button’ video. I knew there had to be a reason the button was there, but like many sewers, accepted it as ‘part of the foot’ but never questioned it. Thank you so much for posting this video. So many machinists will be enlightened today. We’re never too old to learn. 💖
You're absolutely right - we're never too old to learn something new! I'm really pleased that the video helped shed light on that 'unsolved mystery button' for you. It's always my goal to help fellow sewers make the most of their machines. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch and comment!
I think it's great that we are discovering new things about sewing after all these years. I'm glad the video was informative for you. Thank you for watching and for your kind words.
It's always great to add new skills to your sewing repertoire, no matter your age. I'm very happy to hear that you found the video useful. Thank you for watching, and here's to many more sewing discoveries!
That button has been my sewing mystery for about 40 years. I’ve had at least 5 machines over the years which had it, I knew it was for ‘levelling’, but levelling what, i could never find out. Until I ceased to care what it did. I would never have guessed that was how it was used! But what an incredibly useful feature! I have a denim skirt in the to-make stack, i might jump that one up the queue. Thank you for demonstrating that 😄
I'm so glad my video could clear up the purpose of that elusive button for you. It's amazing how these little features can make such a big difference, especially with projects like a denim skirt. I'm excited to hear that you'll be putting this feature to use soon. Thank you for watching and sharing your story.
I have seen a tip for levelling a sewing machine foot somewhere (I think that foot didn't have a black button) which involved a bit of cardboard folded up to suitable height and shoved under the back of the foot until it goes over the bulky seam. I never knew that the black button does this and so much better too! Thank you for doing this video. Also appreciate the demo of the auto lock setting. Thank you!
You're welcome! Yes, the cardboard trick is a workaround, but it's always nice to have built-in features like the black button for a smoother experience. I'm glad the video was informative and that you appreciated the demonstration of the auto-lock setting as well. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing with these new techniques!
I'm so glad you found the video amazing and that it introduced you to a new trick! It's always great to have different methods up your sleeve.Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've been doing exactly the same thing using a hump jumper. I've fiddled about with that black button wondering what it actually does but gave up as couldn't see what the purpose was. Brilliant.
Thank you so much. I am over 70 and have been sewing since I was old enough and never knew what the black button or the others did and I have the same machine.
It's never too late to learn something new about the tools we've been using for years, and I'm really happy to hear that the tutorial shed light on the functions of those buttons for you. It's wonderful that we can continue to grow in our crafts no matter how long we've been at it. Thank you for your comment, and may your sewing journey be filled with many more discoveries!
I am so happy that the video helped you tackle the high seam issue. It's amazing how sometimes the simplest tips can make a big difference. Thanks for your comment!
It's wonderful that you've been sewing for so many years, and it's never too late to learn something new! I'm so pleased to have been able to share this tip with you. Thank you for watching, and may you have many more joyful sewing experiences ahead!
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the tutorial and found the information about the black button useful! It's always exciting to learn more about the features our sewing machines have to offer. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch.
I learned to sew when I was 9 +/- years old. (Hate sewing clothes because the pattern never fits when finished). I have been quilting for 25 years and have never know there was a reason for the black button on the foot. (I have a 6600 and 6700 Janome). You can bet I will not have to place a folded (and thicker) piece of fabric under the back of my foot again!!!!!!!! Thank you.!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I am subscribing to learn other new tricks you may have for me. :-)
I'm thrilled to hear that the video introduced you to the purpose of the black button and that it's going to make your quilting easier! It's always a pleasure to share tips that can improve our crafting experiences. Thank you for subscribing and commenting! I've just shared a new "trick" over on my website that I think you'll enjoy. The article is titled "No Pattern, No Problem: Turn Scraps into a Quilting Masterpiece. " I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts on it. The article is at this link www.ageberry.com/poppy-flower-quilt-block-without-pattern-from-scraps/ and let me know what you think! Your feedback means a lot to me.
@@ellenpalmer8571Thank you for your feedback, and I completely agree-the sashings didn't turn out right because I used jersey knit fabric, which was a big mistake. I wanted to use the same fabric as my skirt. It's a learning experience, and I'll never use knits for quilts. 😂
Yes, it's amazing what you can learn by just reading your maker's manual BEFORE you start sewing. I found out quite a lot about my Husqvarna machine by reading the manual thoroughly before starting to sew. It just saves so much time. Thank you for the information for those who never read their manuals!
Absolutely! Reading the manual is a great way to get ahead and make the most of all the features your machine offers. It really can save a lot of time and prevent unnecessary frustration. Thank you for reinforcing that point and for taking the time to engage with the content of the video!
As the comment below I also am 73 and been sewing since the age of 9 I also have never known what that black button was for. Thank you for enlightening me.
You're very welcome! It's a pleasure to share something that can still enlighten after so many years of sewing experience. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I'm so pleased to hear the video cleared up the mystery of the black button for you! It's wonderful to welcome you as a new subscriber, and I'm looking forward to sharing more helpful tips and information that maybe can enhance your sewing experience. Thank you for your support!
Wow! I am almost 70 and have been sewing since I was 12. Thank you for letting us know what the black button was for. I bought a hump jumper to solve this problem when the solution was already there.
It's always a pleasant surprise to find out we've had the solution all along! I'm glad the video helped you discover the purpose of the black button. Thank you for watching and commenting!
It's wonderful to hear from someone with such a wealth of sewing experience. I'm delighted that you've discovered something new about the black button and that you're making good use of the other features too. Sending you thanks for subscribing all the way to Brisbane, Australia!
It’s a built in hump jumper! I found out about it on another video just last week so I tried it out and it didn’t work but they didn’t demonstrate that you need to raise the foot before pressing the button, I thought mine was faulty but I’ll try it again now, thank you.
That's right, it's all about the details when it comes to using these features correctly! I'm glad my video could provide that crucial step of raising the foot before pressing the button. Give it another try, and I'm confident you'll see the difference. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your next sewing project!
It's never too late to learn something new, and I'm so glad I could share this tip with you! Thank you for your comment, and enjoy applying this newfound knowledge to your future sewing projects.
You're welcome! It's wonderful that even after 25 years, there's always something new to learn in sewing. I'm happy to have shared something useful with you. Enjoy your future projects with this new tip!
I'm so happy to hear that the video provided exactly what you needed! Sewing can certainly be frustrating when things aren't working as they should, and I'm glad I could help alleviate that frustration for you.
I'm so pleased to hear that the explanation was helpful! It's always exciting to demystify those little features on our tools that we've wondered about. Have fun experimenting with the black button!
How have I had a modern machine for 30 years and NEVER been told about this. I never thought it had a real function - i just thought it was - um... dunno really. OMG, im never gonna sleep now!! Thankyou SOO MUCH
It's quite the revelation, isn't it? Sometimes the most useful features can go unnoticed for years. I'm glad to have introduced you to this function! Sorry about the potential sleepless night, though - excitement about sewing can do that! Thank you for commenting!
Many thanks for the information about the black levelling button. I could not find any information about it in the handbook for my Brother machine. I am most grateful for this video
I'm so glad the video filled in the gaps for you! It's surprising how some machine manuals don't cover all the details. I'm happy to share what I know and help fellow sewists. Enjoy your sewing with your Brother machine, and thanks for your kind words! 🧵
I'm truly heartened to know that you've found the information wonderful and helpful, especially with your many years of sewing experience. It's always fantastic to learn new things that can add to our craft, no matter how long we've been at it. Thank you for your kind words!
I'm glad I could shed light on the function of that button for you. It's always great to learn more about the tools we use. Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy the new possibilities with your sewing!
I'm so pleased to hear that! Bulky seams can be tricky, but with the right techniques, they become much more manageable. I'm glad the video could help you out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm really pleased to hear that the video was timely and helpful for you! Breaking needles can be so frustrating, but now that you know how to use that button, you should have a much smoother experience with thick seams. Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙂
That's wonderful to hear! The Janome 6600 is indeed a fantastic machine, and it's great that it's your favorite. May it continue to serve you well for all your sewing projects! Do you have other sewing machines too?
@@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry yes I also have 7700 and embroidery Janome machines .love them all.7700 is great for guilting space, but using the many stitched is not as easy as the 6600.
It's quite surprising, isn't it? Sometimes, very useful features on our sewing machines are the ones we overlook or never get around to exploring. I'm glad the video is shedding light on the presser foot button for so many!
I still have my Janome 2000 which I bought in 1995!!. Unfortunately now the computeriserisation section of it is now unfixable. It's now 2024, so I've had for a total of 29 years, and yes I didn't know what those buttons were for either! It cost me $3,000AUD back then and has served me well from making outfits for my first granddaughter, motifs, delicate lace curtains , window curtains and the separate backings for my house bought in 1988, dresses, and outfits, a 1:49 wedding dress, and finally 32 curtains for a house I moved in to when I remarried (big mistake!). The last lot of curtains were the biggest challenge as one set needed 2.5 drops per curtain and as each drop was 150 wide you can imagine how heavy these were which also included the separate backing. My last project was a stitched painting of a cat which I lost when he was 10 months old, sadly I can't finish due to the machine's failure to work properly. But it doesn't owe me anything really. I purchased another Janome about 3 years ago (probably my last one) from the same people I bought my original machine from, but not as fancy as my first. Still miss using it 😢 so much!
It's incredible to hear about the long life of your Janome 2000! You've certainly put it to great use over the years, creating so many cherished items. I'm sorry to hear about its recent issues, but it sounds like it was a trusty companion in your sewing journey. Thank you for sharing your story, and may your newer Janome create just as many wonderful memories for you.
You're very welcome! It's always a pleasant surprise to learn something that can make tasks we've done many times before a bit easier. I'm glad you found the information useful. Thank you for watching, and may your future projects benefit from this new tip!
I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the video and learned something new! Your enthusiasm is what keeps me creating content. Thank you for your kind words!
That's wonderful to hear that your mother passed on her sewing knowledge to you at such a young age. It's those shared skills and moments that become cherished memories.
If you ladies have thick fabrics to sew, also make sure you use the denim needle. I had a few layers of regular thinner fabric (seam for a small project) and a brand new needle (not 3+ yrs old) but the thing broke.
Absolutely, using the right needle is crucial, especially for thick fabrics. A denim needle size 90/14 is exactly what I used for this demonstration but decided not to talk about it in the video to save time. Thanks for the comment!
You're very welcome! I'm happy to hear that the video helped solve the mystery for you. It's always great to learn new things that make our sewing experience even better. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I actually have an article that goes into detail about selecting the right machine for those who are new to sewing. It covers what features to look for, different types of machines, and some recommended models. You can find all this information and more to help you make an informed decision on your first sewing machine. Here's the link to my article www.ageberry.com/best-mechanical-sewing-machine/
I wish my machine had that auto-lock button! It would save so much time.....but i have a machine that is at least 40 years old..... (even though i got it brand new just a few years ago).
Well, those modern features can be great for saving time and effort. But there's something special about sewing on a machine with history, even if it's a bit more manual.There's a certain charm to the hands-on process with those vintage machines. Plus, the skills you develop on an older machine are invaluable. My opinion.
You're right, reading the manual is often key, but they can be pretty technical and sometimes bury the good stuff. That's why TH-cam videos and blogs are super helpful too - they break it down and make it easier to grasp. Thanks for the reminder!
Some manuals are better than others, that's for sure. And YT is fantastic for demonstrations and explanations that manuals often don't go into. People such as yourself are a very valuable resource for how to do all sorts of things. @@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry
I'm so glad you found the information awesome! Discovering new things about our sewing tools can be quite a revelation. Enjoy using this newfound knowledge in your projects!
I don't speak Chinese, but I'm glad to see that the video was helpful to you! Thank you for your comment, and I'm happy that you've gained some new knowledge.
You're welcome! I guess it's easy to make assumptions about those little parts on our machines, especially when their function isn't immediately clear. I'm glad I could clarify it for you. 🙂
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video. It's always fun to share those "Who knew?" moments with fellow sewing enthusiasts. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm thrilled to hear that! It's always exciting to share something that really resonates. Enjoy putting your new knowledge to use in your sewing projects! 🤯🧵
I'm curious about your machine's slip stitch as it's typically done by hand for a nearly invisible finish. If you're referring to a stitch on your machine that you're using to mimic a slip stitch, it would be helpful to know the exact stitch and machine model you're using, as every machine is different. I'd recommend checking your sewing machine's manual for guidance on the stitch you're attempting to use. Make sure you're using the locking button correctly - it usually needs to be pressed continuously to lock the stitches in place.
It just goes to show that no matter how long we've been sewing, there's always something new to learn! Happy sewing, and here's to many more years of learning and creating!
Thank you for sharing your unique perspective! That's an interesting approach to choosing your machines. I understand there's something truly special about the quality and durability of some older machines.
Absolutely, the manual is a great resource! But manuals can sometimes be a bit dry, and finding the information you need isn't always straightforward. That's where a good TH-cam tutorial can come in handy-it can bring the instructions to life and show you exactly what to do. Plus, it's always nice to have someone guide you through the process.
Thank you so much for the compliment on my accent, and I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble understanding me. To make things easier, I've got a detailed written tutorial available on my website at this link - www.ageberry.com/hidden-features-of-your-sewing-machine/
I'm sorry to hear you had difficulty understanding due to my accent.

@@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry I will, thanks to your video😀
I too have the 6600 and I love it. My favorite machine
That's wonderful to hear! The Janome 6600 is indeed a fantastic machine, and it's great that it's your favorite. May it continue to serve you well for all your sewing projects! Do you have other sewing machines too?
@@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry yes I also have 7700 and embroidery Janome machines .love them all.7700 is great for guilting space, but using the many stitched is not as easy as the 6600.
Thank you, I have the Janome 6700 p and love it. I will try these functions out on my machine.
You're welcome! It's great to hear that you love your Janome 6700P. Have fun exploring and trying out the different functions on your machine.
Oh my, I never realized that so many people didn’t know how to use that presser foot button and what is for!
It's quite surprising, isn't it? Sometimes, very useful features on our sewing machines are the ones we overlook or never get around to exploring. I'm glad the video is shedding light on the presser foot button for so many!
I still have my Janome 2000 which I bought in 1995!!. Unfortunately now the computeriserisation section of it is now unfixable. It's now 2024, so I've had for a total of 29 years, and yes I didn't know what those buttons were for either! It cost me $3,000AUD back then and has served me well from making outfits for my first granddaughter, motifs, delicate lace curtains , window curtains and the separate backings for my house bought in 1988, dresses, and outfits, a 1:49 wedding dress, and finally 32 curtains for a house I moved in to when I remarried (big mistake!). The last lot of curtains were the biggest challenge as one set needed 2.5 drops per curtain and as each drop was 150 wide you can imagine how heavy these were which also included the separate backing.
My last project was a stitched painting of a cat which I lost when he was 10 months old, sadly I can't finish due to the machine's failure to work properly. But it doesn't owe me anything really. I purchased another Janome about 3 years ago (probably my last one) from the same people I bought my original machine from, but not as fancy as my first. Still miss using it 😢 so much!
It's incredible to hear about the long life of your Janome 2000! You've certainly put it to great use over the years, creating so many cherished items. I'm sorry to hear about its recent issues, but it sounds like it was a trusty companion in your sewing journey. Thank you for sharing your story, and may your newer Janome create just as many wonderful memories for you.
Wow! Invaluable information. Thank you.
As always, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and for your continued support!
I never knew that and I could have used that many many times…thank you for the info
You're very welcome! It's always a pleasant surprise to learn something that can make tasks we've done many times before a bit easier. I'm glad you found the information useful. Thank you for watching, and may your future projects benefit from this new tip!
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed your video and I learnt something I never knew.
I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the video and learned something new! Your enthusiasm is what keeps me creating content. Thank you for your kind words!
Strangely, that is something I did know. My Mother taught me to sew when I was 8. I must have learned from her.
That's wonderful to hear that your mother passed on her sewing knowledge to you at such a young age. It's those shared skills and moments that become cherished memories.
Thank you for info on black button.
You're very welcome! I'm glad the information on the black button was helpful to you. If you have any more sewing questions, just ask.
Never knew about the black button ,TFS
I'm glad I could shed some light on the black button for you! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for the very informative video.
You're welcome! I'm delighted to hear you found the video informative. It's always great to know that the content is helping others.
If you ladies have thick fabrics to sew, also make sure you use the denim needle. I had a few layers of regular thinner fabric (seam for a small project) and a brand new needle (not 3+ yrs old) but the thing broke.
Absolutely, using the right needle is crucial, especially for thick fabrics. A denim needle size 90/14 is exactly what I used for this demonstration but decided not to talk about it in the video to save time. Thanks for the comment!
That was so interesting and helpful!!
I'm really glad you found it interesting and helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch and for your positive feedback.
Genius! Thank you so much, I always wondered what that was for
You're very welcome! I'm happy to hear that the video helped solve the mystery for you. It's always great to learn new things that make our sewing experience even better. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful. Enjoy putting it into practice with your sewing projects!

It covers what features to look for, different types of machines, and some recommended models. You can find all this information and more to help you make an informed decision on your first sewing machine. Here's the link to my article www.ageberry.com/best-mechanical-sewing-machine/

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much.
you're so welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
I wish my machine had that auto-lock button! It would save so much time.....but i have a machine that is at least 40 years old..... (even though i got it brand new just a few years ago).
Well, those modern features can be great for saving time and effort. But there's something special about sewing on a machine with history, even if it's a bit more manual.There's a certain charm to the hands-on process with those vintage machines. Plus, the skills you develop on an older machine are invaluable. My opinion.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
It's my pleasure! Thank you for the comment!
And this is why you should read the manual. You then do not miss out on many amazing things your machine can do.
You're right, reading the manual is often key, but they can be pretty technical and sometimes bury the good stuff. That's why TH-cam videos and blogs are super helpful too - they break it down and make it easier to grasp. Thanks for the reminder!
Some manuals are better than others, that's for sure. And YT is fantastic for demonstrations and explanations that manuals often don't go into. People such as yourself are a very valuable resource for how to do all sorts of things. @@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry
The thing about janome manuals I don't like is the table of contents is not alphabetized and it is hard to find the instructions for any one topic.
OMG This is awesome information I had no idea
I'm so glad you found the information awesome! Discovering new things about our sewing tools can be quite a revelation. Enjoy using this newfound knowledge in your projects!

Thank you I just thought it was an automatic spring.
You're welcome! I guess it's easy to make assumptions about those little parts on our machines, especially when their function isn't immediately clear. I'm glad I could clarify it for you. 🙂
That’s a great video! Who knew?
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video. It's always fun to share those "Who knew?" moments with fellow sewing enthusiasts. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Why is my sewing machine not locking stitches when sewing slip stitches
I'm curious about your machine's slip stitch as it's typically done by hand for a nearly invisible finish. If you're referring to a stitch on your machine that you're using to mimic a slip stitch, it would be helpful to know the exact stitch and machine model you're using, as every machine is different. I'd recommend checking your sewing machine's manual for guidance on the stitch you're attempting to use. Make sure you're using the locking button correctly - it usually needs to be pressed continuously to lock the stitches in place.
Well been sewing for 53 years and never knew about the black button 😂
It just goes to show that no matter how long we've been sewing, there's always something new to learn! Happy sewing, and here's to many more years of learning and creating!
❤❤❤
I, am 50. I will ONLY use machines at least 10 years older than I. The rest, I use in PaperCraft. ❤
Thank you for sharing your unique perspective! That's an interesting approach to choosing your machines. I understand there's something truly special about the quality and durability of some older machines.
👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for your feedback!
To all of the people who don’t know what is what. Read your manual.
Absolutely, the manual is a great resource! But manuals can sometimes be a bit dry, and finding the information you need isn't always straightforward. That's where a good TH-cam tutorial can come in handy-it can bring the instructions to life and show you exactly what to do. Plus, it's always nice to have someone guide you through the process.
Gem Dropper is your name.
