Thank you very much! I make RU-vid videos now ( I also write a tutorial on my blog on the same topic) and always wonder what people think about my English.

Well your accent is a litle hard to understand at first, but is normal that happend for all the people who is not a native speaker its ok I am from México and my english is not perfect too, grettings from Tijuana, México

Thank you very much! I will try to worry less about my English now. As for your Brother machine, how many buttonhole stitches does it have? If one kind doesn't work, maybe the other one will? Maybe try the one with rounded edges? Or a keyhole buttonhole? But if nothing works I guess it's time for repair.

Glad it was helpful!

It is difficult to diagnose this without seeing the behavior especially that there may be multiple causes or adjustments. I have collected some troubleshooting tips in an ebook available here www.ageberry.com/sewing-machine-troubleshooting/ perhaps you can use the contact form from that page (bottom) to send me an email with a more detailed explanation.

Yes, thank you for the tip! You are absolutely right. Agree also with the longer stitch length - it will help to solve the problem.

Thank you very much! I don't speak Spanish but I used Google Translate.

@@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry I too,jaja

In the article (for which the video is a companion) I am dealing with multiple reasons this might happen. It is difficult to have an opinion without seeing the actual behavior and getting a feeling for the problem. But if none of the issues I am dealing with applies, then yes, I believe it is time to see a specialist. The link to the article is in the description but for convenience here is again: www.ageberry.com/sewing-machine-buttonhole-troubleshooting/

You’re welcome 😊

Check this article on my site - Sewing Machine Buttonhole Troubleshooting - www.ageberry.com/sewing-machine-buttonhole-troubleshooting/. You will find the explanation there.

Glad it helped!

Thank you so much 😀 I also hope it will be useful, if needed.

I tried to look into this, could not reproduce it, sorry. No real idea ...

You're welcome!

I'm not quite sure I understand your question about the Brother LX27NT and the One Step Buttonhole foot. Could you please provide a bit more detail or clarify what you're asking? I'd love to help you out once I have a better grasp of the issue. Thank you!

You’re welcome 😊

There might be a setting or adjustment issue with your machine. Check to make sure you have selected the correct buttonhole setting and that any dials or buttons are positioned as they should be for a full buttonhole cycle. It could be a mechanical issue where the machine isn't switching sides due to a jam, misalignment, or another problem. In this case, seeking the help of a professional technician might be necessary. How many different buttonhole types your machine has? Sometimes selecting the wrong type or not completing the full buttonhole cycle can cause the machine to sew the buttonhole incorrectly. Once I know a bit more about your machine's options, I might be able to help you troubleshoot the problem more effectively.

I never make regular buttonholes on faux leather and on real leather, I only make bound buttonholes for these materials. But if you started... it's really problematic to sew nice buttonholes in this case. Try to put tissue paper on top under the presser foot and on the bottom on the needle plate. Or finish them by hand sewing. I have a tutorial on making buttonholes by hand at this link www.ageberry.com/how-to-sew-buttonhole-by-hand/

It is difficult to say anything without seeing the behavior; I suggest if none of the tips in the video applies ( you can look for the printed version here www.ageberry.com/sewing-machine-buttonhole-troubleshooting/ ) then perhaps it is time to see a technician? Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you; however I have never adjusted that and the manual for my machine does not mention the adjustment. Do you know why that adjustment would be necessary and when?

@@SewingTutorialsByAgeberry My manual doesn't either. I searched RU-vid for hours and came across yours. It helped the most but I still couldn't get a complete buttonhole. More searching and came across the link. Made the adjustment then hurray a perfect buttonhole. My first problem, the rubber feet under the foot had completely come adrift and were on the table at the back of my machine! I was only producing the bartack. The rubber feet have a feed dog which feeds the fabric through. Glued them back on, result being first bartack ok, half inch of left side then machine stopped, bl error code. I found if I flicked the lever towards me the error code disappeared and the buttonhole stitching started again but with an extended length. Lots of fiddling with flicking the lever I could get a buttonhole of sorts but it was very frustrating. Apparently the lever has a sensor which can get mis-aligned through vibration or a knock. The link helped because I found out where to look to make the adjustment even though it was slightly different in that it wasn't a hex screw adjustment just a normal screw on a white plate. The buttonhole foot needs to be removed first. The sensor plate is green plastic, just under this is where you can see if it is mis-aligned. In the black plastic underneath the sensor is a slit covered with another piece of plastic which should be centred over the slit, mine was to one side. I loosened off the screw on the white plastic piece a little and eased the lever to where the alignment should be then tightened the screw. Result, perfect buttonhole. Even without lockdown I couldn't find a service engineer anywhere near me so I was so pleased when I found a link for this problem. Apologies for my poor explanation, I just wanted to show that this problem is not always down to the user.

There are closed captions for the video, suggest give them a try! Also there is a text verxsion of the article here: www.ageberry.com/sewing-machine-buttonhole-troubleshooting/
