Attaching a Button when Sewing a Buttonhole

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Candi Cane Canncel with Expert Village. We already done a buttonhole by the machine now I'm going to show you how to attach a button with the machine. So the first thing you want to do is switch out your buttonhole foot for your button foot. This is a small button foot that comes with most machines and from my experience with teaching and sewing none of my students had any idea what this is. So if you do have a little foot that comes with your machine that looks like this well that's what it is for. Is to actually attach buttons to your garment. You don't have to sew them by hand. So you just want to switch out your foot put in your buttonhole foot with the opening facing the front. You want to take your button and what I find that is really easy trick that works especially with inexpensive buttons. Is to actually tape you button on this way it doesn't go anywhere when you stitch it. Just put a small piece of scotch tape down in the position and you take it to the machine, just line it up right underneath the foot. You are going to put it on the second step of your buttonhole, the second or the fourth step which is the same of your fourth step buttonhole. Just manually you want to line up the hole because what you are doing is you are basically stitching into the little holes. You are going to be stitching back and forth.
