sewmarm asked:
Use the Sew a Button presser foot to sew flat buttons on your garments or craft projects. It’s easy, and fun once you’ve got the method down. The Singer sew a button presser foot comes both as a screw on foot or a clip on foot for the slant shank adapter. Great for those of us who always poke ourselves hand sewing on buttons.

Me, too, and I have been sewing for over 30 years.
More importantly, I am not a good girl about mending. So I make myself do some of the mending pile before getting to whatever sewing project I am working on. Of course, much of the mending pile is buttons to be replaced. Mending them by machine is faster and easier for me, and then I get to sew something fun!

1. Because if I have more than one button, I end up having to re-thread my needle multiple times. I HATE threading my needle. With the machine, thread it once, sew tens of buttons if needed.
2. I never poke my finger.
3. Faster.
Happy sewing!

yeah i have tried to do that on my own machine but i can’t get the flat button to fit under the presser foot!! so i think its wonderful that my machine has such functions but i would hope that they would also work… (my machine isn’t singer though, it’s EVA M 300 and it was cheap so i can’t expect it to do wonders)
i want to thank you for your videos because of them i have been learning “sewing english” lol..

You rule, Sew Marm! This video just made my day. Now I won’t give my husband dirty looks when he asks me to replace a button. A very clear, well done video. Thanks.

Great! Welcome to the world of sewing! I’ve favorited a lot of good sewing videos by other YouTube users in my favorites on my channel, too.
Happy Sewing!

Yes. Make sure you’re also set on 0 stitch length!. The straight stitch just anchors your button, then use the zig zag to get the right stitch width for your button.

I totally want to sew some buttons now! this video was a lot of help, you make it look easy!! Thank you!!
Just recently started sewing, got my first ‘own’ machine yesterday – I think the only reason I felt confident getting into it was the wealth of knowledge on the net, like your videos!

so you start on straight stitch, then switch to zig zag once you’ve lined up the second hole?

Happy Sewing for such a wonderful reason!
As the kids grow, mending can get to be a real chore. Using my machine to sew buttons gets the mending pile down much faster!

Thankyou so much, I have just started sewing (I am making a dress for my so to be born daughter) and it has buttons. I am going to practice sewing buttons with my machine and then hopefully sew them on the dress. Very good video.

I was never successful without that presser foot. The regular foot isn’t made to both hold down the button and stay out of the way of the needle.
You can usually find the button sew on foot on ebay for cheap. I use it all the time.
