    I’ve been watching your tutorials since you first started. YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER. You don’t talk down to anyone, you don’t talk too fast you don’t talk to slow you give examples were necessary. For those of us with some experience, we can follow along. For those with no experience, we can follow along because you’re taking the time to be a good teacher. Thanks for all the effort you put into these, the people who are subscribers are grateful. congratulations on some great work!

    Your tutorials have helped me from binding a quilt,making a "burrito" pillow to these tea towels that my daughter wants me to make her. Your instructions are spot on. Thank you, can't wait to make a couple !

    I know that this is an old video but I just love the way you explain everything. I have a buttonhole gadget that came with my sewing machine. Being new to this craft you made the button hole gadget so much easier to understand. Thank you. I like to follow your videos. So detailed and always with a smile.

    I absolutely adore you, I am just starting to sew I am in my 50's, and yes I did learn a little sewing in 7th grade...a little while ago... 8 ) my hubby bought me a sewing machine on black Fri. I stated watching your videos, and you are my hero!!! I am hoping to try the buttonhole it was so intimidating to me until I watched this video...and let me say, "You are an awesome teacher thank you so much for remembering us newbies, even us oldies"!!

    You have such a great way of explaining things. I appreciate that you don't have LOUD music that drowns out your voice too. I don't sew much, but I do like these towels so I'm going to make a couple this afternoon. Thank you for sharing your tutorial and thank you for the printable template. I can see why you have almost 60,000 subscribers!

    HI Vanessa, as soon as I finished watching this video I checked my machine and it had the same buttonhole foot. I couldn't wait to try it. OMG, it was so easy and the button hole was just the perfect size for the button. I'm going to start adding buttons to my projects and I owe it all to you, thank you.

    This is a great tutorial! Thank you for demonstrating the button hole foot -- I have a babylock machine but just haven't done button holes on it yet! I'm sure the Brother machines and others with this type of foot work similarly, so thank you for a clear demo!
    This is a great beginner project -- gathering is an essential skill to know! Maybe I could help my granddaughter make one for her mom!

      +Crafty Gemini Creates A little update: I went crazy and ordered several tea towels from Amazon, and then used my precuts for the tops and made 7 of these for Christmas presents. My Babylock Ellure Plus was SO easy to use for the button holes, just like your demo showed!

    Thanks Vanessa! I found some material I had purchased a couple of years ago, I printed out 6 of the patterns so I could lay it all out on the cloth. It was SO easy and fun. I will soon have homemade Christmas gifts for the girls in the family! I will be purchasing my towels in the morning so I can finish up. It was nice to be able to get the rest of it finished. Thanks again. I look forward to your videos each week!

  • @marytramp5678
    @marytramp5678 2 года назад +1

    if you are planning on giving this to someone who is elderly or has arthritis, buttons are the bane of our existence. It is a little more expensive, but the magnetic snaps that can be sewn in work great or even sew in a piece of velcro ( i prefer the magnets as they don't get messy like velcro eventually will. But it is less expensive.), and you can always sew on a decorative button if you want. also i wouldn't cut your tea towel in half. tea towels are thin, and fairly inexpensive. when you cut it in half it makes it look cheap. by just putting your basting stitch on the center line you will end up with a fuller looking hanging towel. or you can simply lay it flat then fold it into thirds the width of the topper. then fold in 1/2. no gathering involved. this will give you a very neat and tidy appearance. this is nice for towels with writing on it that you want people to see.

  • @rebekahbardsley5947
    @rebekahbardsley5947 5 лет назад

    Vanessa, Wow what an awesome video!! I have watched a number of the dish towel videos others have made and although they are all good - they are not as informative as your's as far as making the button hole goes. Button holes scare me along with zippers but, after watching many zipper videos last weekend I think I can do one and tomorrow when my eyes are better in the morning I want to get my button hole foot out and read the directions. I have a Bernina with a metal foot. I like your voice, your diction is always great. I love your craft room and all you have on your walls - the colors everything you display is an eye catcher too. In 2015 I watched how to make the catch-all fabric baskets and I shared my pattern with a friend who was learning how to sew last summer (her business is card making) and wow - she has been making your baskets like crazy and selling them at her craft sales. Now she is using cam snaps in colors to match the fabric because you can unsnap it and lay it flat to iron it. She made one for my birthday with my initials in gold vinyl (she also has a cricket and makes vinyl crafts too). I took the basket to Sanibel with me in November to put on my dresser in the condo to put my barrettes and jewelry in. I can no longer make the baskets to sell because now she makes them to sell and if we are doing the same sale I want her's to be bought. At Christmas time I made one of your baskets a tad bigger and on each corner I sewed a thin grosgrain ribbon and tied a bow on the top of the corner and put pretty Christmas napkins in it. I thought this afternoon on making one the size of business cards to hold my cards that I hope to order soon. I stick to a budget and keep changing my mind as to what little picture to have on my card as I sew and bead and make note cards. Hopefully tomorrow I will get a new cartridge for my printer too so I can download your templet. Thanks again for an awesome video.

    Great tutorial! I wash my towels and fabrics first. Some of the cotton towels shrink an amazing amount-not a problem-just make one hanging towel from each towel. If it is preshrunk, your gift recipient won’t be unpleasantly surprised after washing for the first time!

    • @Carol-Bell
      @Carol-Bell 9 лет назад

      +Jennie Wallick Oh try it out, just look at your book but follow what Vanessa does on the video -- it's VERY easy, you put the button into the back area of the buttonhole foot, put it on the machine, pull down the little plastic thing to sit against the foot (your machine book will explain) -- once you get this, you won't want to use anything else! Try it out on some scrap fabric and use a 3/4" or less sized button -- try it out when it's NOT part of a project... it only takes 5 minutes or less.

    • @jwall6006
      @jwall6006 9 лет назад +2

    • @Carol-Bell
      @Carol-Bell 9 лет назад +1

      +Jennie Wallick That is so cool! Yes it took a little practice for me too -- this towel project was the first time using the buttonhole function on my machine, too (it's 18 months old)... doing it on a towel is a little different than on a garment will be, but at least you figured out how the buttonhole function works:) Happy New Year, may you have lots of fun sewing throughout the whole year, and be brave and try out new things!
