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.

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.

[@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!!!!

[@KayJohnsonArt]

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

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Awesome! 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 :-)

[@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!

[@Mupo3]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@LucreciaAnzana]

Very clear and straight to the point video. Thank you!

[@carlynholmes]

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

[@SewingPartsOnline]

LOL - no worries! We never really stop learning the art of sewing. =D

[@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!

[@tatianab3659]

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

[@matahati123]

Its been so helpful for people like me who know so little about sewing...thank you for sharing.

[@allyson_gari]

[@jmac4313]

Your videos are great; I truly appreciate! Thank you!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

[@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

[@Quilting_jules]

Thank you. Really helpful to watch and learn 👍🏻

[@windsorlewis3344]

This was a great tutorial, thank you very much!

[@mylagracelapuz7789]

Very helpful video. Thank you

[@BlackPowderBill]

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

[@danitahunter4568]

Omygoodness! I have been trying and trying to figure this out by reading the instructions that came with my machine, without success. This video helped me finally figure it out. Thank You!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@donnagafford5992]

Thanks i always had problems with buttons but with this machine it had a button hole maker on it but i was always to worried that i could do it until i watch you video. Thanks so much for helping me make buttons hole. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@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.

[@empress5675]

You REALLY helped clear up our questions about the different types of feet for this machine! I'm a subscriber!😊👍💃🇺🇸
Ms. Heart❤

Hi! Try moving your tension from a 0 up to a 3 and let me know if that works better.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

[@nsando3177]

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

[@Calgary24682468]

I am a newbie in sewing. My Brother sewing machine manual doesn't show how to use different feet that come with the machine. Thank you for all your illustrative & informative videos.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Calgary24682468 My pleasure! Glad to help and welcome to the wonderful world of sewing!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Hi! What model singer do you have? I'll look it up and see what's going on.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

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

[@immortalfirefly0641]

thanks it help

[@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'.
