Molly's Sketchbook: Buttonhole Tutorial

I always thought that making buttonholes with a sewing machine was hard but I was happy to find out that I was wrong. Follow this easy tutorial and you'll be making buttonholes in no time! I'd recommend trying several buttonholes on some scrap fabric before you do it on anything you want to keep. --Molly

Note: I have a Janome Jem sewing machine so these directions are specific to that machine. However buttonholes are very similar no matter what machine you have, as long as it has a buttonhole feature. Consult your sewing machine's manual to figure out the specifics.

ohhhh, I have always been scared of buttons. I have recently conquered my fear of zippers, so I think it is time to move on to the (evil) cousin. Thanks for all of your help!
