I have senw SO MANY hand towels for us from this video!- mostly with terry towelling- thank you always for your work- . Marietta, Brisbane Australia

EXCITING, SIMPLE & FUN video with EASY to download FREE towel pattern --THANK YOU!!!🎉

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.

Great video! To the point without chitchat and right on point. Keep these videos coming. You're A wonderful teacher.

Thank you Thank you, Christmas is coming, I have been following you for a long time. Happy sewing. 2022

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 !

Vanessa, I really enjoy your videos. You enunciate clearly, you are upbeat and give very clear instructions with enough time to absorb each step.

Thank you, I was always afraid of the button hole piece thinking it would be complicated to use.🥰 a sign of relief 😅.

I bought a button foot and sew the buttons on the machine. It looks so good!

Thank you for this video. I used your burrito pillowcase video can’t wait to make these towels. Thanks for easy directions.

I see you date this was done quite some time ago but I just discovered it. What a clear and easy to understand video. Thanks so much.

Thank you for this tutorial, it was great and i love how you showed how to use the button hole foot!

I love your videos. You are a great speaker and make it very easy to follow what you are doing. I am a new sewer and you are teaching me well. Thank you.

I think I love you! You explain everything so well! For a beginner, you are a blessing!

I used to make these years ago. I made them for Christmas gifts for friends and family and they loved them always looking for them

Well presented. Thorough and simply demonstrated. No excess talking. Great video. I learned a lot from it. Thank you.

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!

Oh my goodness- I’ve never figured out that button foot. Thank you very much for sharing all these great tips!

when I make my aprons I add a loop to hang one of these on. I make a couple to match the apron, so I can change to clean hand towels.

Love the tip with the pin as I have cut through the end of the button hole before. On a dress for my daughter. So disappointing to do that. So your tip was great.

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"!!

I now have a project to use heart buttons on, for St. Valentine's day towels. Thank you CG!

Love to watch your tutorials. Easy to understand and follow along.

I like this a lot! I had never seen a button hole made before. Very nice!

You’re so fast and thorough! Time for me to get sewing since I found some irresistible towels at Costco.

I really like the way you make your towel . I have seen a few of these made, and I like yours the best.

There needs to be a LOVE button. Great project, thanks Vanessa!!!

Love your hand towel tutorial! You explain everything so well! You make everything look so easy no matter how experienced you are. Thank you 🤗💕

I love this idea for quick simple but impressive gifts. Good demonstration and easy to follow.

Thank you, Vanessa, You are always so clear without talking down to us, and have such good projects. Love your smile, too.

Haha! Vanessa...you were right. With this super cute video you made me want to try my button hole foot!!....I have never tired it but I saw how easy it is and will for sure try it with this project! THANKS!!

That was probably the best button hole Tutorial I have ever seen. Beginners take note. Thanks Crafty Gemini

Excellent video👌 Very clear explanation of how to fold the fabric before putting the towel. Love the way you explained how to use the piece to make a button hole. Excellent I’m so thrilled 👌 thank you so much. Found your videos😍 So happy 😍

Thank you Vanessa! I really enjoy the way you teach. I'm on my third towel in two days.

found your youtube page and saw about 4 videos . I'm addicted already. 😄 you are awesome and helpful. straight to the point.

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!

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.

You are great..easy to understand, and not boring..Thanks

Thank you so very much for this video and the template. I am EIGHT!!!!! months behind in my Christmas gift preparations, and this will help me so much! Thank you again!

Vanessa, as always, your video is excellent! You are my go to person whenever I want to tackle a new project!

Great, easy to follow directions. Your style is so relaxed and directions are very clear. Thanks for a great tutorial!.

I love the pin tip for cutting the button hole!

Great video! You’re such an inspiration and an amazing teacher!! 😉

This is the best tutorial I've seen for button holes. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber. Can't wait to dive into your other videos.

you are so helpful and your videos are so easy to understand! thanks for all your tutorials!

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.

I did not know how these were sewn. Thanks for sharing the tips.

I’m a very old and new to sewing gal. I found your instructions so clear and easy to follow. I can’t wait to try this and view more of your videos! 12/8/20

Thanks for this video! I've always wanted to use the button stitch and foot!

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm making some for myself and some for gifts. I love all your videos.

Your video's are great. I saw lots of videos on how to do this but yours was so clear, concise, easy to watch and listen to. Thank you and keep these wonderful easy to follow videos coming!

Thank you for your quick efficient tutorial. I will use a snap fastener as I don’t have a button hole accessory 👏

You are a great teacher and what a great project. BTW, I love how you have your work area decorated, especially the fabric in the hoops. Thanks.

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!

I LOVE your videos, they've gotten me through many a sewing meltdown. :D Thanks so much.

I sew my buttons on with my machine. So easy to do!

Thank you excellent very clear instructions. Great tutorial on doing button holes.

I love the Crafty Gemini "quiltress" it has so much information and it is so good and I like her!

Nevermind my stupid browser I still don't know how to work my 5 year old phone thanks for u do and put out for free so much appreciated and so much learned❤️

I really love your videos. I am a beginner and I just made this and I am very happy with how it turned out :) Made my first button hole and sewed on my first button with my machine. Thanks Vanessa!!

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!

I zigzag over dental floss. Easiest gathering ever!!

love it... have to add this to my project list. I got a button hole plate, but had no idea how it worked and the book showed very little, so thanks for the demonstration. So glad you and MSQC are doing things together.

Hi Vanessa, I am new to your video. Took a while but I finally found the pattern. Tomorrow I’m going to try to make this. Thank you in advance, Gale

Thanks! I enjoyed the tutorial!

Thank you for this video! It was a real eye opener! ( I had no clue what that little lever was for and bingo, everything started to make sense! Thanks for making it look easy!

I love your videos. You teach very well. Thank you.

WOW! Been looking for how to make these little hand towels! I have been buying them as I always like to have one hanging bye my sink! Thank so much for teaching how to make them! Love and enjoy your video's hugs Liz...

Great projects always learning from your tutorials awesome teaching love your channels

Thank you so much, Vanessa, for such great tips (gathering, button holes, etc) as usual.

Alway enjoy watching from the Bahamas you are amazing 🎉

I loved the tutorial! You had just the right speed and plenty of information for all skill levels . I subscribed so once I tackle this project I will look to you for more. (Also, I am a Gemini so it was meant for me to learn from you)

Thanks so much for a simple easy to follow button hole video..I just made my first one..Thank you..

Vanessa Thanks so much for this tutorial. My husband and I fish and use these type towels looped through our belt loops at the waist to wipe our hands after (hopefully) catching a big one! Because you never can find these hanging towels when you need them, I will certainly be saving this one to make a pair when we need them.

Im newer to sewing, I have been watching a lot of your tutorials thank you, and now I know how to use my button maker lol. Thank you again and I love your projects :o)

Thanks so much for the printable download and this tutorial!

i made a bunch of these and they are fabulous.

As usual,a great tutorial. Thank you!

I love this. Super quick and easy.

Those are just adorable

Thank you! I've made about 6 of these using your tutorial! I did cheat on a couple of them and used velcro and sewed a button on the tab for decorative purposes.

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.

Great tutorial. I've been wanting to make one with a crocheted top, but now I think I will sew one. You make it look "sew" easy.

TYFS , this is a quick, fast DIY & a great gift.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have several sewing machines I like ...but now I want one like this. Love how easy the buttonhole was. I will be making a ton of thes!

You're an excellent instructor!!!!!

Thank you for this tutorial! I have made several of these as gifts. They are always well received. I also have made several for my own home.

Love the tutorial & the easy, comfortable way you teach. I will be making a few of these. Thank you kindly.

Love this tutorial! I have a button hole foot, but never tried it because I am a VERY new newbie! :) This helped out a lot because I am more hands on. Definitely trying this!

You do such a wonderful job! Thank you

Great tutorial and I loved your presentation.

I enjoyed that now I know what that little white thing is for

I love this tutorial! Your pattern for the upper part reminded me of the shape of those plastic putty scrapers you can get at a hardware store! I may have to see if that could be a good pattern for it!

Thank you, I have a Babylock Tempo, same button hole foot, but I never have figured it out. I've been driving up to my daughters house 30 minutes away to use her 1969 singer that was grandma's, or hand stitching a button hole. Merry Christmas!

Very good tutorial! I am Gemini too!

I have a nice machine and had no idea it would do that! Thank you!!

You explain things very clearly.
