I snipped out the center of the hole, and...success!
Love it.
Modern quilts, old sewing machines, and everything in between.

Button hole success
I tried out my buttonholer tonight on my Singer 115. It took a while to get it all set up since it was the first time, but then I cranked out a button hole super-easy.

I'm no seamstress, but now I'm tempted to make something with button holes, just to use it again. It's such a clever little device. I'm going to study the manual to make my button holes prettier...they were a little ragged looking, but I could tell they were still of higher quality than the button holes on my cheaply made shirt.
Love it.

You could always makes a quiet book for your child to practice buttons, I'm not sure how old your children are though. :) But that would be a great way to practice making button holes, sewing zippers, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea! My four-year-old needs to practice those skills. The boy's as smart as anything, but is rather challenged with hand-eye coordination :)
DeleteSuccess! You could make dish towels. I made a couple for my mother-in-law one year, Dec 6, 2011. They make nice gifts that are quick to sew together.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea...thanks for the pics in your blog, I couldn't figure out how a button worked on a dish towel. Those look really good though! I'm going to try monogramming too, but that looks like an advanced maneuver!
