How to Sew a 4 Step Buttonhole on your Sewing Machine

In this video I'll show you step by step how to sew a four step buttonhole on a Brother L14S sewing machine, however, the principles will be the same or very similar for all four step buttonholes. You can find this sewing machine available to buy on our website and I have added links in the description below. I'll show you how to attach and position the foot correctly, how to line up the foot with your buttonhole markings on the fabric and how to stitch the buttonhole out. I've also included a few tips for sewing buttonholes and there is also a link below to an indepth article with lots more tips for sewing buttonholes too.
