      Thumbs up for the tutorial. I bought my machine 10 years ago and had the same thinking about the foot. I just made several attempts and I am so happy that I didn't lose any of the foots. I will be checking on for more tutorials. Thanks a lot!

    Hi Babs - I always but a pin across the top and bottom bars when opening a buttonhole, you can take the seam ripper right up to the pins without cutting into the stitches. Works every time. I made my daughter's wedding favours and what a godsend a one-stop buttonhole foot was!

    • @BabsRudlin

    I have always had terrible experiences with buttonholes that were uneven and had mixed results using a seam ripper. That is why I always feared doing buttonholes. I didn't realize I truly didn't know how to use the buttonhole tool or the seam ripper. Maybe now I can get great outcome because of your tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making the tutorials so detailed and easy to understand for those that are new to sewing and its terms. I'm so excited to try this in a few minutes, like my manual I keep my iPad, you and you tube ready to access if need be by my sewing machine! Keep up the good work I appreciate you! Thank you!

  • @charlotteprescott-ruland9121
    @charlotteprescott-ruland9121 6 років тому

    Thank you for this tutorial!! I'm going to repeat it over and over until I can get it right. By the way, do you have a tutorial on how to use the thicker thread (piping thread?) along the lines to make a more prominent buttonhole line? I know there are some buttonhole feet that have the notches at each end for that, but the notches on the four-step aren't quite big enough to hold piping thread in place...if that makes sense. Your help is greatly appreciated!!

  • @alice30045
    @alice30045 6 років тому +3

    May I suggest that you place a pin perpendicular to the ends before cutting through the fabric. Oh, I see someone else has made that same suggestion. If you slip, that pin will save the day.

  • @maryenos91
    @maryenos91 3 роки тому

    I just came across your video and was wondering if that is a generic buttonhole maker or did it come with the machine. I have a Juki HZL-F300 and my buttonhole maker is quite different and I cannot do large buttonholes to accommodate larger buttons...Does your machine accommodate for larger buttons? Thank you.

    I have been told that with this type of button hole presser foot, to put your button of choice at the back of the foot, and it will give you the correct size buttonhole for it. I have not attempted this technique as yet; what are your thoughts on this idea? Thank you for this video.

    • @sandragaines4309
      @sandragaines4309 8 років тому +1

      This is not the foot that allows you to put the button in the back of the foot. Those feet only work on machines that have a stop lever. That foot is usually only available on machines with a one step buttonhole.
