Thanks so much for this video! I’ve sewn on buttons by hand for years and wanted to finally give the machine option a try. After searching through numerous tutorials, your video is the only one that made sense and was helpful! Thank you so much!!!! ❤

You mentioned that had other ways to sew buttons on work pants. Are available on youtube

Do you know how to add a longer shank to the button ?

Great how to video! I am totally not good at sewing I did not get that gene from my mom or grandma

[@LetsLearnToSew]

Thanks for watching! Sewing is like anything, it does take practice. Thankfully my mom was determined I'd learn to sew.

[@winningnumbers]

Which do I do first, the buttonhole or the button? Thanks

[@LetsLearnToSew]

I always start with my buttonhole and then sew on the buttons last.

[@francescastjames]

Can you do this without using the bobbin thread? I find that using both threads makes it too thick.

I love your videos. I have a question though. My machine is creative 9000 & have 84 stitches and the alphabet... I'm using my general zig zag button, I have (excitedly lowered my teeth, I've never seen that button in 4yrs that I've had this machine), the issue is my needle is measured correctly for the 2 holes but the needles want to sew through the button as if I have a piece of material underneath. The needles won't sew left right repeatedly to stitch the button in place. What am I doing wrong? Xxx

[@Baz86710]

Oh I realise what I did wrong. I had my zig zag stick on high width lol. Xxx

[@LetsLearnToSew]

Have you tried a different stitch? I have a stitch on my Husqvarna Viking machine that does the same thing.

Hello! I never tried sewing buttons on my Brother machine before. Seems pretty easy #fingerscrossed. I have a question though, my machine does not have a specific button stitch, so I use 04/Zig Zag Stich. I tried it and it worked for the most part... There is a small discrepancy though. I've noticed this before when I've used the zig-zag stitch - my reverse/back button doesn't work. When I push reverse button, it does exactly the same thing as if I was stepping on the pedal (needle goes side to side). I'm concerned about button not locking in place in the beginning. I tried it out a few times and yes, if I pull hard, I can loosen thread in the beginning. This is for a 4 hole button. Only thing I'm thinking is that I have to sew 2 buttons, tie them off in the back, and the other two and tie them off in the back? Or do you know a way I can override machine so my reverse button works in zig-zag stitch?

[@LetsLearnToSew]

You just tie it off in the back as you did. If it is a 4 hole button will most likely have to tie them off separately. If I get some time this weekend I'll play around with it using my zig-zag stitch.

On many Brother machines, the ‘reverse’ button has 2 functions. When a straight stitch is selected and the ‘reverse’ button is pressed, the machines stitches in reverse. However, when many of the other stitches are selected (zigzag, in this example), the ‘reverse’ button functions as a ‘reinforcement’ button. That is, when the ‘reverse/reinforcement’ button is pressed, the machine stitches in place - neither forward nor backward. This means it reinforces or secures the zigzag or decorative stitch, and does not back up (which could result in a row of decorative stitches being covered up at the end with a line of straight stitches which were sewn in reverse). I do not know of any way to override that function. Straight stitches can be reinforced with a reverse, straight stitch. Zigzag and decorative stitches can be reinforced with a sew-in-place stitch. Your local Brother Sewing dealer is really the best resource to determine if your machine has an override feature.

Brother Nq900. The button foot can't raise high enough to accommodate a button that's 4mm thick. Yours looks better.

[@Goody2shzToo]

On many machines the presser foot will lift higher. Lift the foot as normal then instead if letting go of the lifter, push it harder and if your machine has that function, the foot will go higher as long as you're holding the lifter. Good luck.

Does this work on a man’s work pants
