Patchwork Quilting Classes TV
Приєднався 4 лис 2016
My channel will feature lots of Patchwork and Quilting technique videos. By way of introduction, my name is Rachel Warren. I have sewn for as long as I can remember, in fact I had my first sewing machine (a hand turn, with the long bobbin, Singer No 28) while I was still in infant school. I just wanted to be like my mum and make things.
I established "Sew Happy" in 1994, and based in Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield I now specialise in teaching Patchwork & Quilting - and making it fun and social at the same time! I wanted to bring this to a wider audience, and hopefully my videos will help people get to grips with some of the basics!

thank you.
Thank you
Hi! Thank you! I got a second-hand Jenome (New Home brand). It doesn't have the owner's manual. Im trying to watch UA-cam videos to try to understand how it works. I'm having an issue with the stitches. The straight stitch, the machine moves forward, but with every other stitch, the machine goes in reverse. When i press reverse, it goes forward. Google says that it's possible that the machine is engaged in the buttonhole setting. Let's see what happens after I try this. Thanks again!
Good Luck 😊 it may just need a service x
@patchworkquiltingclassestv9084 Well, it ended up being that I need to reset the buttonhole function (stitch).
@@cocasio7190 sounds good:) Just do some practice buttonholes before you go all out on a finished garment x
Such a good video with clear instructions..thank you !
Brilliant! Well explained! I made my first button hole today :) thanks
Aw 😊well done x
So helpful, thank you. Drawing up the bobbin thread was what I was missing! 😅
I've discovered over the years, that pulling up that wretched bobbin thread solves all sorts of problems lol:)
Thank you very much. Your tutorial helped me a lot.
My Janome doesn’t have a button hole dial. It’s a 419s. What do I turn it to?
Hi there:) I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with that machine, but I've found a link to the instruction book www.janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/retired/other-models/419s.pdf It looks like there is a setting - Page 20/21 :) Hope this helps :)
Thank you so much
Also, if you have the ability to make more videos, please do so because you are very good at making them without unnecessary blathering like many people do. You should also turn on the feature where people can pay you, because I would have been happy to send you a dollar for your information here. When people do good things and help other people they deserve to be payed. You saved me so much time and frustration here, so when people do that I like to send them a dollar or two and everyone else should do that too. Even if only quarter or half of us do that it is worth it for both you and the people you are helping. I’m subscribed now ❤😊
Thank you for your lovely message, and advice - I've not really been aware of that function :)
Thank you so much for making this clear video. When I got my Janome sewing machine about 4 years ago, I made few shirts and the button hole was a pice of cake to make. Since then I’ve put the manual that came with it in a very good place where I can’t find it, so thank God for people like you that can make clear and very instructive videos about what ever needs to be done. I want you to know how much I appreciate you. And BTW I had made shirts for my husband and 4 years later he wants more of them, and yes therefore the button holes. I’m in the USA 🇺🇸 so wherever you are (I think in Britain 🇬🇧) lots of love and appreciation ❤
Glad I could help:) I think sometimes it easier to be shown how to do something, and go you making all those shirts :) and yes I'm in Birmingham UK :) How lucky are we to have a hobby we enjoy, and that's practical x
Fantastic tutorial thank you
Thank you! The manual describes this so poorly. I didn't know about the black tab you have to pull down! Also the trick with the pin to stop the seam ripper. You have saved my dress.
Phew:) I think its always better to actually see something, especially when its something new - enjoy x
Thanks, can you see through the foot the tack marks where you want your buttonhole to be so that it’s straight? I have a Janome 7025 so need to find more info.
Just about - you really have to keep an eye on it. ..
That was so incredibly helpful, thank you!! Also great tip about using the pin to stop you ruining your buttonhole when cutting it open.
Thank you:) I do like to pass on little tips, especially when I've made mistakes :)
Absolutely terrific! You saved me from sheepishly returning to the shop for instructions. Bravo!
Thanks! Very clear instructions.
I was so worried about attaching the walking foot to my Janome thank you so much you made it easy to do ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😊😊😊
its always esy when someone show you how - enjoy x
I've done it. It is fantastic I put off for a long time before buying one. Many thanks ❤
@@patriciahobson6320 It is an amazing tool - well worth the investment x
Thabk you soo much, i was going to take my sewing to my mums to use her old bernina to do the buttonholes. But now i know my janome can do a better job!!!
Thank you for a brilliant clear tutorial. I am trying to make buttonholes on a toddlers romper using stretch fabric and it just isn't working properly. Have you any tips for using stretch fabric please?
Definitely try it on some samples first, maybe stabilise the fabric with iron-on interfacing first 😊
Thank you. Yes, I do that so perhaps I will try some thicker interfacing! If that doesn't work I will have to revert to hand sewn buttonholes! I still think it's a brilliant foot!!
Brilliant, thank you, always thought my button hole foot broken until I watched this video. And it does it all by itself 😊
Thank you. I’ve been struggling to do the button hole, and didn’t know about the pull down lever.
Don't go thinking you're the only one - most people don't know its there :)
Me neither thought mine was broken 😂
Great thanks :)
Suoer simple thank you x
thanks this was helpful. you said you push the start button, but don't show where or what the button is? Maybe my machine doesn't have it?
Oh sorry, i have a stop/button on my machine instead of using the foot pedal... I think you just keep your foot on the pedal until it has finished :)
Hi! Could you tell me what model of machine you are using? Looks fab and I am thinking of treating myself in 2024! Thanks very much
Yea I am curious as well! I am really liking the look of this machine!!
My guess is something similar to the 4120QDC-T but it looks a little different
I have a Janome TXL607 and I love it:)
Very helpful tutorial! Thank you so much
Yeah, mine just doesn't do it. The instruction tells me to do some arcane manipulations, and I managed to break two thick needles on a blouse fabric, and no button holes on sight. It just bunches up the stitch all in one place. Mine is mv530s, a simple model, and it's the first time it doesn't do what it is supposed to. I'm almost crying, honestly.
Oh Catherine try not to get upset... I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with that machine .... Have you tried searching for buttonhole on Janome mv530s? You want to find a video without the one step function.... Hope this helps X
Also, try out on some scrap fabrics first -vou will need at least 2 layers of fabric x
Same thing here. It doesn’t move, just bunches up. I would like to toss this machine in the river
@@patchworkquiltingclassestv9084 I found out that my machine does the cycle correctly... without a thread. So I think that something needs to be cleaned, oiled, or otherwise fiddled with.
Hello, what tension number and stitch length is best? I have moved mine around and dont know what the original was set at x
Um - I never change mine, as I only ever use cotton fabrics for patchwork... tension is usually about 4 and stitch length you can change to what you want - I think mine comes on automatically at 2.2 :)
My Janome machine isn’t as clever as yours, I’ve struggled all afternoon, I eventually got one perfect practice one then went on to my garment and the machine just sewed in one place it didn’t move at all and I can’t figure out what I’ve done wrong, very frustrating 😢
Oh I am sorry, you must be gutted... Sometimes it does that if the fabric isn't thick enough - you could try an extra layer of fabric/stabilizer inside the piece you're buttonholing...
I have the buttonhole foot and a janome machine, and when I put a button in it makes a perfectly good buttonhole, except the hole is always about 3 mm too big. Is there a way to fix that? Or should I possibly look into getting a new foot in hopes it will make a buttonhole the right size?
Hi Doris, I've never heard of that before... have you a local sewing machine shop where you could ask? Otherwise I think its just case of hand sewing a stitch at one end.... maybe leave the thread a bit longer and use it to stitch the end together:)
👏🏻🌲
Thank you my first botton hole a breeze
Thank you 🙏 Couldn’t figure out how to get the button on the bottonhole foot . Grew up watching my mother do 4 step button holes This seems like a breeze! Great trick putting the straight pin before you cut button hole. Greetings from New York City! 😅👍🏼🇵🇷🗽😀❤😊
This was easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much - your tutorial was the only one I could make sense of. I've been avoiding using this foot for the past 20 years but now been forced to learn by my 11 year old who is very keen to learn 😅
How lovely your 11 year old wants to learn - Something to be nurtured :)
My needle bar is very short
it should still be ok - its only the little white bit that's on the lever that needs to go over the needle bar :)
Hi Rachel I’ve been looking how to fit this type of walking foot, but I have a problem my machine dose t have anywhere to attach n bar to. Any help please xx
Hi Wendy - can you send me a photo? Rachel@sewhappy.co.uk
Hi Rachel😳😔😞😳 I am embarrassed to admit when I put the foot on and fiddled with the stitching and my needle was positioned on the left. Nowhere in my very thick manual does it tell me how to change needle position, it was more luck than judgment it moved over to middle position. The safest would be if I could move the needle to the right. Thank you. Hugs xx
He Wendy @@WendysCraftDen you can move the needle position by altering your stitch width... its the button with the zigzag motif... or it could be your stitch setting, - on some machines there are various needle positions preset, eg the 1/4" stitch moves the needle to the right... hope this helps Rach x
@@patchworkquiltingclassestv9084 Ho Rachael I will try that later on thank you maybe I need to down load the hundreds of pages manual. I would have thought it would have been I the basic manual. I have had machines in the past and it’s basic instructions. Thank you for your help. Xx
My goodness why is your foot ankle so loose
you're right! I hadn't noticed before - I think the screw just needs tightening :)
Mine is the same way. I think Kenmore/ janome vibration loosens the screw.
Instructions were clearly explained, great camera work too. After watching this video I finally worked out how to use the buttonhole foot. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for this tutorial ❤. I've been avoiding buttonholes, but now feel ready to make one. I noticed that you also have a tutorial to use the walking foot 😊. You have a new (bell) subscriber x
Thank you - I'm glad you've found it helpful - I suggest you practice buttonholes on samples before you start in a garment x
Total life saver, thank you!!!
Thank God this video was here. I was nervous about using the foot. Good directions.
Glad I could help :)
A well presented and informative video. Thank you - especially for the pin to stop the seam ripper.
Thank you :)
HOW ABOUT THE SETTING OF SELECTOR N LENGHT N WIDHT
You don't need to worry about those Diane as the machine will do it all automatically... just make sure you have it set to a buttonhole stitch :)
In my case the machine(mechanical suggests settings / for me.
Thank you
Do you have any tips for using the manual button hole foot? About to throw my machine out the window, the buttonhole lever does absolutely nothing 😢
Oh dear - that sounds like its broken - you need the lever to tell the machine when to change direction.... otherwise it would take a lot of steps manually .... straight stitch reverse,to the top of the hole, then a tight zigzag forward over the straight stitching, then a bartack, (twice the zigzag width, length 0) then a straight stitch backwards, (up the other side of the buttonhole), then another bartack, then the zigzag forwards again over the straight stitches and finish off... it might be worth a try :)
It’s a new machine and I’m not experienced with buttonholes so did wonder what was going on! I’ll contact the manufacturer to see if they can give me some help! Thank you for the tips!
My first buttonhole, so glad I found you, I have been putting it off for ages ❤
Absolutely brilliant, I just made my first button hole at 55 😂
Well done 👍
This is perfect. Thank you.
