Yes, I would love to see a behind the scenes video on your equipment and how you set things up. I am always wondering about that as I watch your videos.

@TomKatStitchery Год назад

I can totally do that!

@lynettemb4532 2 года назад

Love, love, love your laugh. Thank you for sharing your knowledge lovely lady. 🤓

@TomKatStitchery Год назад

Aww! Thank you so much!

@pollymaxwell5585 2 года назад

OMG, I never thought about using wash a way for doing buttonholes and my sewing machine hates knit buttonholes, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much Whitney, your the best.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

Oh good! I hope that's helpful!

I'm so glad to hear that!

@rhodamurphy2097 Год назад

I recently completed two spring cardigans in lovely knits and have been dreading doing the buttonholes. After watching this video twice, I plan to do a couple of practices and then take the plunge. Wish me luck.

@TomKatStitchery Год назад

Good luck! You can do this!

@margaretgorski7947 2 года назад

I never would have thought to use the water soluble stabilizer, but it makes so much sense! Thanks

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

My pleasure!

@ritaleimer4284 2 года назад

I wish I could experience your calm demeanor when making buttonholes!!

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

😂 depending on the fabric, it's not always calm!

@Escape10mom 2 года назад

Great idea with the water soluble stabilizer. I use that stabilizer in strips for my rolled hems on the Serger & they come out fabulous! Great way to use up left over scraps from my embroidery.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I do that on my rolled serger hems as well!

@jenniferandrew3373 2 года назад

That stabilizer tip!!!! I'm staring at the wool for a coat I'm going to make right now, and that stabilizer tip to keep the fuz flat is genius. Thank you!

@l.baughman1445 2 года назад

Ditto!!! 👍❤️

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

It will work great on a wool coat!

@enahitt 2 года назад

did buttons holes yesterday o na button down shirt yesterday, remembered your video , did some samples to adjust them to my liking and to see which way they stitched since i ve havent stitched any on this machine but it all worked out great. the fray check was a great tip , even put it on my buttons after sewing them on . never too old to learn something new

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I"m so glad that was helpful!

@cjunga 2 года назад

Oh how I wish I had seen this a few weeks ago! I need to add wash away stabilizer to my arsenal. Thank you for an awesome tutorial!

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

It's great to have in the tool box!

@victoriahannah1633 2 года назад

Another very helpful tutorial and great tips. Love that mustard yellow color.

I"m so glad!

@pamici1 Год назад

OMG, the water soluble stabilizer tip is amazing! How many times have I fought the feed dogs over a loopy textured fabric???

@TomKatStitchery Год назад

Oh good! I hope thats helpful!

Good to know about the Jersey and ballpoint needles, I always get the stretch because they’re easiest to find, but I’ve wanted to get the jersey and ballpoint needles to try. Good to know I don’t necessarily need to. :)

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

The stretch are my favorites!

@Dadsmimi 2 года назад

Thank you for all the inspiration your channel provides! Was wondering if you would be interested in doing a “Coastal Grandma” look? I just love that whole trend!

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

That's a fun idea!

@Northandsouthsewing 2 года назад

Very nice! Thx

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

My pleasure!

@galeholt3757 2 года назад

Good video..like the wash away stabilizer. I use clear fingernail polis on my button..they don't come undone

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

That's a great idea!

@Aurora-uh9nk 2 года назад

Great video, great information as usual.Thank you so much ! May I ask what number and type of machine needle would u use for Cotton Jersey pls ? I am not satisfied with my button holes on cotton Jersey 😞.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I like the Schmetz size 11 Stretch needles for the cotton/spandex jersey.

@debbiebridges5121 2 года назад

Thank you I had a hard time on sewing buttons on a cardigan and the was pretty stretchy and the machine kept eating the fabric and the button holes would be really tight and bunch up.

@TomKatStitchery Год назад

I have definitely been there!

@deborahkuykendall9877 2 года назад

Great tutorial. I love the addition of the water soluble stabilizer. One question - I've always sewed my buttons on so that the holes in the button were vertical when the buttonhole was vertical and horizontal when the buttonhole was horizontal. Is there any reason why you chose to sew the button on with the holes horizontally?

@WhatWeDoChannel 2 года назад

That is the same thing I was wondering. I was taught to sew with the button’s holes going in the same direction as the buttonhole. Please comment. Thanks! Julie A.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I think it's really more of an aesthetic preference. I usually sew my 2 hole buttons horizontal and my 4 hole buttons diagonally. I really just fine it easier to do them that way on the machine.

@susanlawlor7201 2 года назад

Thank you for this video! One question: Does the fray check get on the iron soleplate and, if so, how doyouclean it off?

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

No. I don't notice any residue from the fray check. I have a teflon foot that covers the shoe plate on my iron that cleans really easily, but I also use iron cleaner from Wawak if I have any interfacing oopsies!

@susanlawlor7201 Год назад

@@TomKatStitchery Thanks! I love Wawak. I'll take a look at the iron cleaner.

@debbiebridges8807 Год назад

Thank you for sharing because I tried last year on a cardigan and I had issues with the interfacing and making the buttonholes, thanks for showing the stabilizer and steaming the buttonholes. Also what kind of markers are you using?

@TomKatStitchery Год назад

I'm so glad this was helpful! I was using the Frixion pens in this video. They are my favorite marking tool.

@debbiebridges8807 Год назад

Thank you

@Northandsouthsewing 2 года назад

What’s the name of Wash a way stabilizer? Does Joanne’s sell it by the bolt? I’m always just buying the little packets.

@kandacek63 2 года назад

They might. I know sometimes you can find the rolls in the craft section. I got mine off Amazon in 2020 during the lockdown when I was making a robe for my Mom.

@TomKatStitchery 2 года назад

I got mine on the bolt from Hancock Fabric when they were going out of business. I would check JoAnns in the interfacing/stabilizer section. They may have it by the bolt as well.
