I wish I had come across your video well before I find them very helpful and you explain so much in details, you share so much information, I will be going through all the videos thank you 🙏 ❤

Thank you Lauren. I don’t have such a sophisticated machine with all the options like yours. But I’m going to have a practice with making button holes after watching this. 😀

[@aprildouglas6644]

I love this and your channel is adorable. Your store is beautiful. I can’t wait to watch all your videos.

[@ellenm.shapiro1786]

I did it! After several unsuccessful attempts on my own (buttonholes were too long, it didn't turn around) everything worked fine after watching your video. Thank you.

Thanks very 👍

[@elizabethhill8781]

Thank you, great video. I've put off making a Kalle shirt because of the buttonholes. You've inspired me to have a bash, probably on some spare fabric first.

Excellent demystifying buttonholes. They frighten me and I avoid patterns with them. That really limits me. I'm going to get over this phobia. Thank you.

Thank you so much for reenforcing my basic understanding of button holes.

Got my new machine for xmas & it has a one step buttonhole! Yay! . I gave it a try yesterday & it's like magic. I've been putting off any sort of shirt pattern because of the hassle on my old machine so I cant wait to get going. Thanks for the tips Lauren . Happy new year 😀

[@ellensweat5251]

Thank you Lauren! That was really packed with a lot of info. I will come back and watch it again when I need to make some.

Thank you for this! I am sharing your video with my daughter.

[@annerankin1191]

Great explanation. I sometimes use my seam ripper from both ends e.g. small cut from one end first and then start at the other end to finish the hole. It seems a bit safer as I am not pushing my ripper the whole length.

Great Lauren thank you

Thanks again!

[@dreamdancer84]

Thank you, my buttonhole stitch lengths/density on the right and left are different (the right is longer than the left), do you have any idea on the cause?

[@722dabba]

thank you!

Tks so much for this appt video. I am a beginner sewer and this is a great help. I am currently making the burda shirt 6368. The sewing explanations are not the best and I cannot understand how to apply the button band. Please, please help. Many tks.
