Bernina

[@antoinettecoles6111]

Cody, you are appreciated, your explanations & video's are the best.

[@rebeccaburnett7810]

I tried my first button holes in my life at age 59 lol. Mending front shirt between snaps. Some button holes beautiful others rat nests below. I guide need to get that accessory. Your video I’m watching after the fact. So much more informative than Bernina sites that have wording & music.

[@eileenjasper-pottage9425]

Thank you for the tutorial on button holes. I have watched this video several times. And I think I have finally grasped how to do button holes properly. I haven’t sewn in quite while and your explanations on this subject are very good. Thank you Eileen . Gloucestershire U.K.

[@carolsmith4678]

As always by far the best video tutorial. My go to place EVERY TIME I have a problem. Thank you so so much.

[@karengarylang9680]

Seriously! I’ve had my Bernina for 5 years and the compensation plate has just now made my life better!

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

Thanks Cody! I have a separate folder, saved on my IPad, just for your Bernina feet lessons!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

That is so awesome. I need to get back to making more videos. :)

[@carolkelly2212]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial! One thing I do is before cutting the buttonhole open I run a layer of fraycheck over the buttonhole…allow it to dry….then slice through with seam ripper. No loose threads and stiffer buttonhole.

[@deniselabadie]

I really like how patient you are with your explanations. You make it easy!

[@allisonholloway833]

Glad you are back. I’ve missed your videos.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Im happy to be back at it too 🥰

[@loisg.6240]

Thank you Cody. The little tips about adjusting the space between the bars, and the compensation tip are very valuable. thanks for doing this lesson.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

You’re welcome so glad my video is so helpful ☺️.

[@jeanetteh6842]

It worked! Thanks so much. I am a subscriber as of now.

[@angelabrady8550]

Glad that you are back to making videos.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Im happy to be back at it too. I’ve got a lot more videos coming. 🥰

[@claireevans2336]

Had my machine for many years, hardly used really ❤- just starting again annd learning so much from you, thank you

[@barbaracarter5724]

Thanks Cody, your directions are very helpful. It works great. The feeding aid worked well.

[@oletaartman5384]

Thank you so much! I can't tell you how many shirts I have ruined because of fouled up buttonholes. I stopped making a buttonhole in the tops of shirts on the collar stand for that reason. Now...to try again with the compensating plate!

[@pattysampson4779]

This is a fantastic video that explains the buttonhole foot and the compensation attachment.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank you for the positive comment. I am glad you enjoyed the video ☺️.

[@sandylarson7257]

Thanks so much for your videos! It makes it easier to enjoy my Bernina

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

That is so wonderful to hear, I am happy you enjoy the videos. I truly enjoy making them for y'all. :)

[@DavidSL64]

Very very helpful

[@joanneharvey246]

Thank you. You are so thorough and I appreciate it! I finally understand all the steps to make my buttonholes.

[@amyroth3074]

Thank you!! I have a new to me 750 QE and I just made my first ever button hole! Your video was super helpful!!

[@rondaowens4752]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just received my Bernina and was trying to figure out how to make a buttonhole. Followed your video and it came out perfect!

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Awesome new. :)

[@juliadavison3389]

Brilliant! Thank you so much for such clear instructions 😁

[@joanstefani1352]

Great video!

You’re welcome so happy to hear you found it helpful. 🥰

[@lindachase2667]

Thank you, excellent tutorial. very well explained.

[@patvoyce2659]

Thanks for this video. I only have problems with the buttonhole in the collar stand where the foot has to travel off the edge of the fabric. Will the fabric feeding aid help in this situation.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Yes it will. Situations like yours is when this attachment is most useful and when customers truly need it. Usually your local BERNINA will be more than happy let you try it out in store to make sure it will work for you.

[@thomaspieroni3943]

I watched your video and bough the fabric feeding aid for my Bernina 540 because of my multiple failed attempts to sew a buttonhole just beneath a collar seam. I was a little sceptical that the tool would work but it did! and now all the buttonholes on my Saraste shirt are perfect. Thanks so much for your videos: I'm new to sewing with a Bernina (although not new to sewing) and your tutorials are really clear and so helpful.

[@k3of5ks]

You have officially made someone’s day. Mine!!!❤️❤️❤️ I make mostly garments. The Bernina buttonhole foot has threatened my sanity with each project. I got rid of my much loved B350 for this reason. I’m excited to have a 400 series with computerized buttonhole settings but wonder why Bernina didn’t include the compensation plate with the foot? Makes no sense to me other than more money in their pockets. 🙄 Going to buy today. Thanks for such a great tutorial.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

So happy to hear. Yes this attachment is WONDERFUL as you can see ☺️. Enjoy your new toy 😀

[@jamesnacy6249]

I just got the compensating plate yesterday. I'm excited to try it out after watching your great tutorial. Thanks for another wonderful video!

[@cecilbeverly8865]

Thanks for this information and demonstration. I was hoping to see how this attachment works with making vertical buttonholes on an uneven buttonhole placket. I am using a bulky knit with a very thick edge due to seam allowance on one side. I am hoping to use the fabric feeding aid to help with this exact situation. Can you tell me if this aid will be useful with my problem? I'm actually going to purchase one today at my local Bernina store. Thank you for your help.

[@yvettequiroz2079]

Thank you so much .

[@pilkjaer]

Hi, Cody! Love your videos! That plate is really handy. I just wanted to add that some of the machines have a special calibration setting for that #3A foot. It can be found under Gears -> Sewing machine -> Wrench -> Buttonhole Foot No. 3A calibration. Not sure what it does but there is a calibration option there.

[@icesk8er]

Big help thank you

[@josephinevanlinden3235]

You do such a nice job with these tutorials! Who's Pete?

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Thank you for the sweet comment. Pete is my 19 year old parrot 🦜🥰. My sewing buddy!

[@marykestrydom8358]

I bought the feeding aid after watching your video but still no luck making buttonholes with my B580.

[@celestemalec5043]

Great video and very helpful. I have the same model but my screen is blue. I like your colour scheme - is it something I can change, or is yours a different 'edition'? Thanks so much for the help - from South Africa.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes you can change the screen colors and background textures/patterns. It can be found in your setting. Once you go to your setting click on the little person that’s your “personal settings” there you can see colors and patterns of your screen.

[@celestemalec5043]

@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 Thank you so much, I really appreciate your assistance. So much to learn still.

[@valerieabrahams5427]

I have just bought this fabric feeding aid.Haven't tried it yet. Have you demonstrated the Buttonhole Leveler ?

[@anadulce2726]

Thank you for your videos! They are great. Unfortunately I can't visit you at your store because I live in Germany. I would love to, believe me! Even so, I have hope you could answer one question for me. I want to buy a Bernina just because of the beautiful, professional buttonholes. Just to see this video I get really excited! But this Bernina is a 770. Can you make the same beautiful buttonhole on a 480 or a 570? That's the options I have around here (also because of my budget)... I hope everyone around you is OK, have a nice day :)

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

I am so happy you you are enjoying the videos 🥰🥰. To simply answer your question YES all of the BERNINAs make an absolutely gorgeous button hole. The three machines you mentioned have the same bobbin hook system so they make the button hole the same way 😀😀. Every around us is doing great if you’re ever in the states and in Louisiana come visit 🥰. Also if you have any other questions just let me know.

[@anadulce2726]

@@sewingwithcodyandpete8651 Thank you so much for your fast reply. Your YES left a smile in my face :), and thank you also for your invitation! I would love to visit you and Louisiana. I just saw some photos and it's beautiful. Hope you have a very nice day. Here in Bayern it's already dark and time to sleep :D

[@tufornumberone]

Great video. I watch your other one on how to use the button sew-on foot all the time. It is super helpful. My question is this: if my problem is a rayon fabric that won’t cooperate with the buttonhole foot not because it is bulky or there is a nearby seam but just because the machine is eating up the super lightweight fabric, will the buttonhole aid help solve for that issue, too?

[@PierceOrchestraSprin]

Not cody, but I just finished a project with this problem. I found that If I made the buttonhole satin stitch less dense, it didn't eat my fine fabric (or in my case get stuck in one place forever). Try that first.

[@LibbyEggleston]

Hello! Love the videos...so helpful! Where can I find the fabric aid? I've looked online and can't find one.

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

So happy to hear you are enjoying my videos. So the fabric feeding aid for the BERNINA can only be found at a BERNINA retail store. Part no. 031247.71.00 :)

[@bettyingvardsen7019]

I have been going crazy trying to do a button hole on a narrow placket on the front of a shirt for a doll. It is a nice looking plaid mens shirt! the buttonhole plate is a little wider than the placket. Will the compensation plate help with this.The buttonholes must be vertical because there is not enough width.

[@mtnjhutch]

Your wonderful Cody, but where is Pete?

[@beatricedeneve4920]

Thank you for your video, I made my first button hole with you ! Can you tell me where you get your sewing table which looks really great ? !

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Sew Glad to hear that. Button holes shouldn't be scary. :) As for my sewing table it is a koala and I love it. We sell them in the store and thats what we sew on there and it's just a dream very customizable.

[@paulinecooper7784]

I find it is tricky sewing a buttonhole at the top neck edge of a shirt because of the seams underneath. Will this attachment be good for this reason please,?

[@judycooley1566]

will less pressure on my buttonhole foot help me put in buttonholes in thicker neckbands?

[@sewingwithcodyandpete8651]

Less pressure will help a little on thicker neckbands but if it is at all uneven under the buttonhole foot the "buttonhole fabric feeding aid" will make a much bigger difference. It really depends on the fabric and how thick and even it is under the foot. :)

[@katelyn3997]

Can’t do an auto buttonhole on my 720. I’ve measured the button on the screen , it shows the length & auto on the display but after I reach the desired length pressing quick reverse doesn’t program the length as when I press start/stop or foot control it continues stitching the first leg. Came here to see if I’m doing something wrong, but no, I’m doing exactly what you are doing. Only way I can do the buttonholes is in manual. I wonder if something is wrong with my sensor.

[@paulettekelley6219]

Can I sew a buttonhole on a knit sweater? I am a new owner of a Bernina 570QE. I would love to sew zippers and buttonholes on my garments but not sure what presser foot to use

[@virginiaunger4423]

I recently purchased a Buttonhole Compensation Plate for my Bernina 770 and it is not what your video shows. It is simply a plastic ;template. No instructions in the package. Is it simply placed under the Buttonhole foot? It doesn't snap onto the foot so I am confused ...is it going to work?

[@susanaserio4613]

Also works at bernina 325 ? I know its not inclusief but baying 3A foot works on 325 ??

[@Mhe25]

Can I use this buttonhole foot with Bernina 210 Artists?

[@margaretsadler610]

How do you measure the length of buttonhole

[@kathyreese7904]

It didn't work! I had to just take it all apart and do the buttonhole. In fairness, it was a really dense seam to cross.
