Free Event: Buttonholes & Beyond!
Have you ever used the buttonhole stitch on your machine? Are you experiencing the “fear factor” when attempting to make buttonholes? Watch our experts to help overcome your fears and make buttonholes like a pro!
In this FREE event, you will WATCH the experts make buttonholes with a Baby Lock and Pfaff machine:
- review different types of buttonholes (regular, keyhole, etc.), horizontal vs. vertical placement, as well as methods & tips to make buttonholes on your machine.
- tools and methods: importance of stabilizer/interfacing and thread to prevent puckering and uneven stitching as well as measuring and marking tools (seam gauge, chalk/pen, etc.)
- techniques for precise placement including measuring button diameter plus 1/8” for ease, equal distancing for shirt fronts, etc.
- using your machine to make the stitch - measuring the buttonhole, selecting the stitch, attaching the foot, adjusting the proper settings and sewing the buttonhole windowpane.
- “The cut” - how to safely cut the space between the buttonhole windowpane without over-cutting into the bar tacks.
- Trouble shooting and correcting mistakes. The importance of doing a trial run!
This is a FREE event and demonstration. Do not bring your machine to the event - you will be watching the experts with machines in our shop.
