Yes, we realize now that it would have been better to give you a contrasting thread. This is actually part of our next Hack which we hope you will enjoy. Debuting Friday, July 2, 2021
Thank You for the tutorial! May I suggest, please use a different color thread so that the work is more visible? It was very difficult to see the white on white. Maybe do the work on a practice piece of folded linen. The pictures of the thread really were helpful Questions: 1) do you sell the chisels? 2) do you always recommend 50/3 thread? 3)do you have a pattern available for the beautiful leaves that you show on the background at 10:08? They would be fun to embroider on a project
Cotton buttonhole thread, our 1000 denier silk thread are all good buttonhole thread. 50/3 linen is a good weight for linen buttonholes on linen. Just starting out, you can try 30/3 to practice. We do not sell the repro chisels but I will put links up as to where you can get them. Our designs for our end card are not available but you can find similar clip art online. Look up cartouches!
I learned to stitch buttonholes using the second method as well. I'm making a Waggoner's frock using your shirt Sew Along as a guide. The buttonholes are the last thing I have to do.
May i ask for your shift / shirt weight linen if youre using 50/3 for stabilizing as cord, which of your linen threads weight wise would you use for the buttonhole stitch ?or I am misunderstanding and it's 30/3 for the stabilizing "gimp" and then 50/3 waxed for the buttonhole stitching overtop? Would those both be the weight threads you would use on the plain white linen shirt/shift material you sell? Can I also ask needle size you would use for whatever thread you suggest for the buttonhole stitching ? Thansk!
The second way of doing the buttonhole stitch is much easier, but I still need lots of practice to get them looking good. I find myself actually looking forward to hand sewing, whilst dreading machine sewing. So I just use the machine for overcasting edges, especially before washing /pretreating fabric.
If you mean the two "cords" that were laid alongside each edge of the buttonholes, trim off the excess from the ends and leave them the cords in underneath the stitches.
We have a short workshop which gives you all the details to make a malleable bust. You can find it here.burnleyandtrowbridge.com/products/mannequin-in-miniature-workshop
Your videos start out good, but then all your videos fall flat at the end. Your videos are incomplete. What happened to that stabilizing stitch that you placed at the beginning??????? The stabilizing stitch just magically disappears? How about finishing the video?
I agree with the poster who suggested a different color thread.

Thank you so much! Would you believe I never knew you should add the stabilizing threads? 😱😱😱 I will be sure to do it from now on!
Wow!! I never knew about stabilizing threads!!! I’m going to use them in all my button holes now!!
Thank you so much....I prefer your method...it looks easier to me...and I’ll makes some practice ones!!!
Like you I learnt to do buttonholes your preferred way. I find it much easier too.

Questions:
1) do you sell the chisels?
2) do you always recommend 50/3 thread?
3)do you have a pattern available for the beautiful leaves that you show on the background at 10:08? They would be fun to embroider on a project

@@BurnleyandTrowbridge Thank You
Hello, is the link to the buttonhole chisels on your website?
These are wonderful hand made chisels gennisheyotrading.com/Sewing-Accessories
@@BurnleyandTrowbridge thank you 😃
Great explanation and lovely hand stitching! Thank you for sharing!

Excellent instruction!
the way you do the button holes is how laughing moon teaches it:) i'll try the other method just to have a go at it though
Stabilizing 🧵 🤯
Can we have a tutorial about how to make that shirt in the background?!?
Yes! A new sew along will be debuting soon!
I was also taught by my grandmother as well as in sewing class in Jr High school to do the wrap method. Much easier for me.
Oh this makes sense to me! Thank you!
It’s extremely hard to see the detail. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t use a contrasting color for the sake of filming.
See above. Also note diagram as part of video which we hope helps

How did you pull the pearl stich tight without pulling the gymp thread away from the buttonhole and not fraying the edges of the buttonhole?
Pulling the thread towards the opening after making your pearl seats it right on the edge which protects the edge from fraying and makes a clean edge.
The linen sewing thread which is waxed : may I ask what size is this sewing thread ? and if it can be used for a cotton shirt as well ?
To make a linen buttonhole we typically use our 50/3 linen thread. You can also try the 30/3 if you are just learning.
@@BurnleyandTrowbridge Thanks. I have both of these threads from your shop. In spools of 20 meters. Enough to practice for the moment.
Where did she find the repro button hole chisels?
These came from The Tudor Tailor on Etsy!
What did you do with the two loose stabilizing ends after you went all the way around? Do you work them in, or cut them off?
If you mean the two "cords" that were laid alongside each edge of the buttonholes, trim off the excess from the ends and leave them the cords in underneath the stitches.
Where can you source the gimp you used for stabilizing? Great video!
The stabilizing thread is our 30/3 linen thread
I can’t see enough detail to tell what she’s doing - my old eyes need close-ups!

Do you prefer a thicker thread to gimp?
We tend to use buttonhole twist for sewing the buttonholes and then a linen cord if we're laying a cord down underneath.
@@BurnleyandTrowbridge I see. Thank You.
1:43 minutes in, get a 1:14 minute ad. Bad RUclips!
Very sorry that is not something we can control
Your videos start out good, but then all your videos fall flat at the end. Your videos are incomplete. What happened to that stabilizing stitch that you placed at the beginning??????? The stabilizing stitch just magically disappears? How about finishing the video?
We do show the finishing. You make your bar tack, then lay buttonhole stitches which are in essence knots. You can then bury the tail and cut off.
