    Thank you for explaining & showing the difference that the dial settings make! I’ve avoided button projects because I could never get them to look “right”. Now I know better. I also appreciate your direct & concise teaching style!

      My mom and all her sisters were ( they still are) so talented at sewing and quilting and make it look so easy. I wish I'd paid closer attention and asked more questions when I had the chance. I'm still figuring out everything on her machine. It's not as easy as she made it seem (get it, seem/seam?) 💖😂

      So I had some bay windows I wanted to put the associated gold curtains I sewed years back flush up against the glass instead of on the interior wall. And I needed extra Hooks because of all the turns in the geometric design of the windows which obvious came up at awkward spots in the curtains. So I had to divide all my panels by three and below the rod channel add in button holes in gold thread to insert the additional Hooks under the rod to hold it up. Started and finished today. Some great some a wee messy and that automatic button hole function be playing games. But all done and hidden and serving their purpose. Thanks much.

    20 years ago I was sowing a lot. I had a pattern custom made of a really nice long coat (and pants) and bough hand woven silk, jacquard like, for it. It turned out beautiful, but I messed up one buttonhole, so much so a tailor couldn't mend it. Since I have avoided sowing anything that needs buttonholes. Now I decided to sow them again, but this time by hand.
