Not only is he a good teacher, he lets us know he is not perfect. The way to get better is to try different things and practice, practice, practice. Thanks for being real.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm happy to hear it and oh boy, the amount of mistakes that I make!

[@DeepRootedwithTulani]

Ahhhhhh thank you

[@DFTBEmi]

Thank you for the pin stopper tip! The amount of times I’ve cut clean through the bottom of my button holes makes me hang my head in shame!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

It seems we learn our lessons the hard way. I too have cut too far :)

[@Pocketsand662]

Oh that was absolutely exactly what I needed! Because I don’t have a very new machine and I needed to make a blouse with buttons!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh nice. May your blouse turn out as you desire!

[@anthea875]

Thank you kindly 🪡🧵🤺

[@ellenh1085]

What?! That's easy! I thought it was hard to do... I've not tried one yet...😂❤

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You've got this!

[@iswateredible8094]

bless you for this! I didn't want to get a presser foot attachment for buttons and I had a hunch I could get around by doing something like this but this really helped nail down the details and avoid unnecessary mistakes!!!💛💛 quick and to the point, love it!!!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm glad to hear it. You got this!

[@ianbryant3258]

Thank you. I had no clue this is how it was done.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm happy to share and thanks for watching.

[@ExoticSugar]

Thank you so much, and thanks for making it short and sweet. I just needed a refresher, and this was perfect!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm glad to hear it.

[@loisgehman949]

I really appreciate your videos! When I make buttonholes I like to use “Frey Check” liquid on the buttonhole before I cut it open… this reduces the amount of wild threads. I also like using a small wood block and a chisel to cut the buttonholes… they are very sharp and very precise.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh wow, now these are some great tips! Thank you.

[@faustesq5854]

Thanks for sharing. Just the thead I was searching for.

[@kittywalsh2436]

What a great video - thanks for keeping it brief!

[@apetutolulope624]

This is very helpful. I've been struggling with doing neat buttonholes. Thank you

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻

[@tondriasanders6306]

I still prefer to sew mine by hand. A little more work, but I prefer the results. Try the different ways and do what works best for you 😊

[@CorneliusQuiring]

well said

[@Smooch-Magazine]

Whoa looks easy enough. Let me try this!

[@CorneliusQuiring]

good luck!

[@randominternetviewer166]

Nice sewing machine :) Mine doesnt have some of those functions 😅

[@CorneliusQuiring]

That's too bad :(

[@jameshopkins972]

This was amazingly helpful thank you so much man

This was so helpful

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm happy to hear it, thanks for watching. 🙏🏻

[@TaDarling1]

Another insightful video. Great job. Always nice to know how to make a buttonhole manually. Also, when I cut the buttonhole open, I squirt a few drops of liquid 'Fray check' on it to prevent unraveling of the cut stitches.

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Oh that's a great additional tip and I just learned something new myself! I will follow-up on this fray check you talk about.

[@thatcherbydesign94]

Thank you for this

Thank you for watching! Happy sewing.

Thankyou so much🙏🏾

[@watchinyoulol]

But won't the fabric fray after cutting it? I find the loose threads drive me crazy, depending on the fabric, which is why I cut then sew

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Yes, it's good practise to snip the loose threads.

[@alexist.5598]

Mine zig zags but doesn't stay close enough together to look like a button hole

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Can you adjust the stitch length? That might help solve the problem.

[@kuljeet655]

I do it by my hand 😅... I wish if I could show you through pictures

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I admire you for hand sewing! Send me them on my website: cornelius.ooo/send-me-a-message/

How about a demo/ tutorial on an inseam button hole on a shirt or coat. A lost art for button holes.! This was once a classic blouse/shirt button hole, never see them anymore and most modern sewers do not even know they were once a technique. ,

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Count me as one of those modern folks who had no clue this was a thing, but having done quick Google, I'm intrigued! I want to try this.

[@user-dg2nf1tu7f]

هل يمكن ان ترسل لي هذه الماكينه ببساطه😅

[@CorneliusQuiring]

راجع بريدك! 🤣

[@baraitalo]

I still think my handmade buttonholes look neater

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You're a skilled individual! Good on you.

[@pureaquafina4732]

4 step buttonhole is brazy

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Some of us are still in the sewing stone ages :)

[@pureaquafina4732]

@@CorneliusQuiring realistically older machines are built to last literally 100+ years. these newer builds got plastic parts and computerised ones get outdated real quick

[@CorneliusQuiring]

You bring up good points :)

[@altheax4029]

HI can someone provide the name of that sewing machine please.

[@altheax4029]

@@CorneliusQuiring Thank you and trust you are my advisor even with me back in design school. I trust your info and would like to ask if the 3a/3b/3c buttonhole foot can be used with any other low shank machine apart from the Bernina? thx in advance

[@CorneliusQuiring]

Thank you. However, I fear your question is knowledge I do not possess.

[@eaglehunter-vj8zm]

👍👍 can you tell me which is this sewing machine.. Thank you
