Sewing a Button with a Sewing Machine
Posted By admin in Sewing
Use the Sew a Button presser foot to sew flat buttons on your garments or craft projects. It’s easy, and fun once you’ve got the method down.
The Singer sew a button presser foot comes both as a screw on foot or a clip on foot for the slant shank adapter. Great for those of us who always poke ourselves hand sewing on buttons.

You’re welcome! I have to admit that making the videos has made me read my sewing machine manual and really improved my use of accessories and techniques!

i really hope you could make a tut on blind hemming.
i went through your website, and i realized I’m a Singer baby too! My grandparents only had Singers, so I decided to follow suit, even if people were telling me Singer has “too much plastic” or that “the company has gone downhill.” I have a 90 dollar Singer I got from Target, apart from a Model 66, and they serve my purposes really well.

I’ve heard the same types of comments, and can’t imagine buying anything but a Singer.
I have a lot of family obligations the next couple of weeks. Someone asked for a gathering tutorial, and the blind hemming is really helpful. I HATE hand hemming, and now I finish my garments since I can hem by machine. I hope to find time soon.

Call me the odd one …
Call me the odd one out. Willcox and Gibbs fan myself. They don’t make them anymore, but the Willcox and Gibbs is just an all around beutiful sewing machine. Pain in the butt to find needles though.

Wow, you have a gem right there!

Yeah, but my …
Yeah, but my Willcox and Gibbs suffers from bad Ebay packing. I was able to get it to work, but the needlearm got bent in shipment due to someone just using newspaper as packing. (the nightmares!) I’m looking for a new Willcox. I think that modern sewing machine makers should make their sewing machines not only functunal but beutiful to look at. (this could be done by applying more art to the plastic casing)

Thanks,

You’re welcome! As …
You’re welcome! As my eyes get worse at threading needles, saving the time of threading the needle once on the machine is one reason I prefer machine sewing on my buttons.

Thanks for the great video. I do not have a sewing machine and never used one either but now I have hopes to alter some of my nice shirts to fit me better. I wish I could find a good taylor like you near where I live.

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the compliment! I actually don’t like mending and altering, lol. To motivate myself to get my mending and alterations done, I cut out a new outfit to sew!
Good luck to you.

Wow. I know a …
Wow. I know a little girl who is 11 and she knows how to sew by hand, and by a sewing machine. She can do the shank, four hole, two hole, and the one hole button. She is excellent but so r u!! This helped me to learn since the 11 year old wouldn’t teach me. I will dazzle her with my knowlage.

Well, when I was 11 …
Well, when I was 11 it was a lot easier to thread a needle, lol! Since I only have to thread once for machine sewing, it gets two thumbs (without thimbles!) up.
You can use this method on four hole buttons also.
Happy sewing (buttons)!
