Very clear&informative

[@scarlett453]

Im sorry, this video is from ELEVEN YEARS AGO!? wow. Eleven years ago you posted this. And it helped me tremendously now. I love the internet

[@janemartin229]

Place a straight pin across your buttonhole to protect the end threads from being cut by the seam ripper when opening the hole. It's a great trick! Most of us aren't as talented as Sarah in using a seam ripper. Great demo.

[@malloryeastman8673]

I was just curious on how to sew a button hole and didn’t even realize that there was a foot for it. Turns out my sewing machine came with it.

[@KayJohnsonArt]

Thank you so much. A really clear and concise video. I have always been afraid of buttonholes. Not anymore!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Awesome! Thank you.

[@sylviadominguez8327]

OMG..... I'VE BEEN SEWING FOR YEARS MAKING SMALL STUFF.....I NEVER KNEW HOW TO USE THIS...LOL
I WAS USING THE ZIGZAG .... THANK YOU!!!!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS & HOW YOU EXPLAIN STUFF.... THANK YOU!!!!

[@stacymcintyre1796]

You've just saved me, I have a lot of these to do and could not figure it out from the booklet. Thank you for making this :-)

[@veronica16735]

I have tried to use the button hole foot followed all directions still can't get it to work. I am going to just punch a slit in the material and double stitch it by hand. Tired of trying to fiqure it out.

[@Mupo3]

Automatic button hole stitches save you so much headache! I hated hand sewing those! Thanks for these amazing how-to videos!

[@qormi1000]

Beautiful buttonholes. Thank you. After 50 years of sewing, I am only now venturing into buttonholes, and your video was very helpful.

[@charlotteoberbroeckling5289]

I’ve been sewing for years and can still learn from these videos. Thanks, I really enjoy them!

[@grettalemabouchou6779]

Can you imagine being afraid of a buttonhole foot? Well I was.....but not anymore ❤ Thankyou.😊

[@LilyMUTINY]

Thank you!! I was altering a wrap dress to be maternity friendly. I attached a piece of fabric in the front that goes behind the top layer of the wrap. I needed a way to help the extra piece stay up, so I added a button hole. Now the string goes through the hole in the new fabric and the hole in the original dress. Perfect!

[@lunab695]

Wow so simple I was way overthinking button holes!
Thank you!

[@olajordan9951]

You are the QUEEN of how to install and use various feet. This one terrified me but I’ve no choice but give it a try.
Bless you!

[@tatianab3659]

Thank you so much for this video!!!! I couldn’t figure it out on my own how to use this foot!

[@lumindina699]

TY! Wow I have to say ty for being thorough in the beginning because the manual and other tutorials missed showing where the push arm should sit and why it comes down where it does. I couldn't make it work until I found you!

[@chickinnug5152]

VERY HELPFUL! I was making a skirt with buttons and didn't want to hand sew i watched other videos and not 1 was as helpful as this video, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

[@carlynholmes]

Your tutorials are SOOOOOOO helpful, thank you!!!!

[@ornelladay2041]

Hi Sarah I bought a new Janome about three years ago specifically for the automatic buttonhole as I was making my daughter's wedding favours and these needed two bottonholes each for ribbon to feed through - what a difference it made to have this feature. Previous to this my New Home machine had manual and was about 30 years old!
My question is what method/attachment can I use to make a very large oversize buttonhole - say 2-3 inches or bigger.
I wish there was a forum on youtube so that I could pass my thanks on to everyone whose videos I have watched and have given me so many tips, techniques and projects that will keep me busy. THANK YOU.

[@allyson_gari]

Ohhh thank you!!! i was passing a hard time because my machine was showing an error E3 and didn't know what happened!!

[@beautyismyforte2532]

All that I can say is, I love your channel! Getting back into sewing clothes (over 40 years) and I doing a binge on your channel. Thank you for this!

Well glad you showed the stop arm coming down. The directions for button holes on my 4423 did not show that step.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

I'm so glad it worked!

[@kyttip24]

[@veronicav6008]

WHAT STITCH SETTINGS DO I USE I'M SO LOST 😭😭

[@huaikim2807]

Not me being late.. I use 21!

[@nothingness7580]

Depends on a sewing machine, there are sewing machine that are automatic (just 1 setting) just like she has and did, she just started it. And there are sewing machine that every sides has setting. Different setting for top, bottom,left side, and right side. Other sewing machine has no button hole maker setting at all. Hehehe

[@deebars7413]

You are right
The most important part is the setting on top that most people don’t bother to show

[@thesustainablemama]

Thanks for the video... very helpful!

[@ruthaylsworth8838]

I have a Brother SE400 and I had trouble sewing a button hold until I added stabilizer on the back. With the stabilizer this worked great.

[@nsando3177]

THANK YOU! I've been reading my machine manual over and over and could not get it.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hi! Do you know the model number of your kenmore? I can use that to find the proper buttonhole foot for your machine.

[@tmlakshmi]

good. I wasted an hour trying to make a button hole. Now I know how to use the buttonhole lever. Thanks

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Glad to hear our video helped!

[@zabnol]

Thank you for your videos! Very useful.
For the buttonholer, what if I don’t have a lever on my old Singer 247?

[@granitefallswacommunity7425]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the videos. Just purchased a Brother xl2600i so I could learn to sew, and the instruction manual simply says 'attach the buttonhole foot'.

[@nickdesert7304]

Thanks much appreciated knew describer 😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@laurabarba3515]

thanks for sharing!😁

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hi Ramona! I just have to ask a couple basic questions before we dive into seeing what's wrong. Are the feed dogs up and did you pull down the buttonhole lever as far as possible?

[@Estellamed]

I also had these questions.

[@fel6533]

Yours is fine perfectly. My holes come out very rough and I have to keep pushing the lever back cause it only does one round if stitch. Maybe you can offer some advice, I have a brother 3750.

[@sheliaharris5335]

Thank you for checking. We emailed some info back and forth earlier this month. Still looking for a solution!

[@diysimpleartsncrafts5617]

awesome... thank you so much.
