Ok, put your hand up if you dread sewing buttonholes. Most sewing machines have a either a manual or automatic buttonhole setting that can make your life a whole lot easier.<\/p>\n

My old machine had a manual 4 step buttonhole, which meant I had to manually change the settings between each stage. It was simple to use, but getting a consistently sized buttonhole was difficult.<\/p>\n

Now my new machine has an Automatic buttonhole setting which uses a special buttonhole foot to measure the size of the buttons and makes a perfect buttonhole every time. I recently made a duvet cover with a button closures (will share a How To soon), and fell in love with this little contraption.
\nIt looks a little complicated, but once you see how it works, you’ll love using it too.
\nI’ve created a video to explain how to use it.<\/p>\n

Yours may look slightly different, but the theory behind how it works should be the same.<\/p>\n

I’ve made a little video so you can see the automatic buttonhole foot in action.  It’s really quite a nifty little accessory. There are also some tips on how to cut your button hole.<\/p>\n
