Nice tutorial. I learned how to do buttonholes this way more years ago than I care to remember but I got spoiled by my one button setting. My machine needs to go to the shop and my backups are all pre1970. Needed a refresher on how to do buttonholes
I added buttonholes to the bucket hat I made for my son, so that I could add a chin strap to keep it on his head (and have the straps go through the buttonholes when the hat is reversed). Ended up doing something similar, glad I was on the right path - thanks for the tutorial!
I found this video really helpful as I was having trouble with my buttonhole presser foot so was happy to come across your video explaining the oldskool/manual way. At first it seemed complicated to do, because I was trying to follow your instructions to the T, but I realised I couldn’t do that because my machine is set up differently so I decided to follow the concept (using the guidelines you describe) but use my instinct a bit more with my machine and after practicing 20-25 buttonholes 😂, I did it for real on my main project and it worked I’m happy with it! 🎉
Great tutorial and was amazed to see how you had your serger thread in a jar. I purchased the special holders but will definitely keep this idea in mind. Ty
Well thank you for this I have both the buttonhole foot and the setting on my sewing machine but I don't know how to use either one of them this I think I can do
Great video, I have a 1975 Bernina that does reasonable buttonholes, nkt as good as the singer (sorry Bernie), but I really wanted more control to get a perfect result on some Osnaberg fabric, which is quite mobile fabric I am finding. I’m looking forward to trying your technique soon. Right now I’m cross eyed from an evening struggling with buttonholes! Thanks again
The best way to cut open a buttonhole is to put a pin sideways at the end of it (so you don’t cut through the end threads), start the cut with a seam ripper, and finish up with small scissors for more control.
You’re awesome, for sure following. Thank you for making practical videos without annoying music or a weirdly fake voice
Thanks for this easy-to-follow tutorial! I watched the last part four times and now have 4 perfect button holes. 😊

I’m going to try to use this good idea to make a buttonhole bit bigger of what it really is. Thank you.
I'm glad I found your channel!

Wow! You have the same machine I do, this is fantastic I can follow along perfectly.
Been waiting for a new video man let's gooo
The Boxy Tee took a bit outta me but I'm back now, going to be busting out videos more regularly. Thanks for staying with me 🙏🏻
So useful
I hope so ☺️

I snapped my button hole foot in half, and this came in at the perfect time 😂
Your Chanel is helping me so munch. Your tutorials cover everything I could possibly need and leave room for creativity.
How do you cut the hole though?
Can’t believe u didn’t show the final result
He showed the finished swatch in the very beginning, but it's obvious we'd want to see it again!
you are the best
Another great video from a fellow Sewpreneur (Sewing Entrepreneur) 🎉❤
Thank youuuuuu
You DIDNT SHOW the Buttonhole!!!
How do you get your free patterns is there a link ?
There's a link in the description :)
Very entertaining.
What if you also don’t have a zigzag? I have a Juki and it only has a strait stitch
Lol what? Where is the actual buttonhole? And then show us how to slice the fabric so it's actually open and usable. 😄
just use a seam ripper to cut it open. or even a blade

Can you show you final product kinda confused
I have the setting but not the foot 😫
