How Do You Sew A Buttonhole On A Singer Sewing Machine?
Most home sewing projects will, at some point, require the creation of buttonholes. Although many newer machines have features to make buttonhole sewing easier, many home crafters are working on simpler machines. Buttonhole sewing can be a little messy for those using an older Singer machine without a specific buttonhole function. However, buttonholes can be made on any machine, regardless of stitch functions. Wind a bobbin and thread your machine. On your fabric, measure and mark the size of the buttonhole you need to make. You can do this by measuring the length of the buttons you are using and determining the distance between each button, which can be anywhere between 1/4 inch and 1 inch, depending on your project. Draw the rectangular buttonhole, using a fabric pencil, directly on the fabric. Test your stitching on a scrap piece of the fabric you are using, to make sure that the thread tension is accurate for a zigzag stitch. Place the fabric under the presser foot, lower the press
