How to QUICKLY sew on a button with a sewing machine

[CGMills52]

Thank you! I have been sewing for almost 30 years, but have never attempted to use my sewing machine for sewing on buttons. I'm going to try it now.

Thank you! I have an older machine and thought you could only do this with the newer ones!

I use the button foot on all my machines. No chance of getting hit by the needle. The button is held securely and is attached really quickly.

Who knew it was so quick to sew on a button.

I have sewn buttons on by machine for years. I tape the button in place with clear tape - NO FINGERS!. I also leave on my zig-zag foot, which helps to hold the button and fabric/garmet in place. I drop the feed dogs, or cover them if it is that type of machine. Then I proceed as you indicated, manually putting the needle down the first couple of times, then use the foot feed. Tape is easily removed when finished.

[SewPat1]

The last 3 videos I got an email notice to watch all say Private and wont let me view them. I can see all others just not - 4patxo , fussycut, flying geese quilting made easy. Was the notice sent out as a mistake?

[Mr6timmy]

Some machines are automatic & some you have to lower the FEED DOGS, just an FYI :)
