Thank you so much for such an informative video. I have been really struggling to make buttonholes on a wrap skirt, the needle just kept going up and down in the same place and the material was snagging and not moving smoothly under the buttonhole foot. I have just tried your suggestion of using a small zig zag stitch and it’s worked perfectly, I am so relieved.

Helpful video for sure however I am having an issue with my machine where it will sew the first side to start however as it comes back to start the zig zag it does not go all the way back to the beginning resulting in button holes that are half the size they should be. I am unsure why this is happening and haven't been able to figure it out.

what if you are having the problem but are trying to do a straight stitch, your feed dogs arent moving your fabric, foot is too hard on the fabric and alls the needle is doing is creating knots ? i just got this machine (brother xr-65) used from a friend and i cannpt figure it out... help :(

Thank you so much ! My sweing decided to sew the buttonhole after getting stuck for at least 20 times.

I changed the stitch length and then again back to my original setting. But Thank you and God bless you . You have covered so many points so patiently.

Thank you. Struggled all morning with buttonholes on a viscose shirt. Used some of your tips and the last one came out perfectly. Also managed to fix the incorrect holes. Faith restored 😀

The buttonhole goes up the left side then back down over the same side. What is wrong

[MrsRebeccaSperry]

You are wonderful!!! It was very much a bent needle, so slight that I couldn’t see it, but once I switched it out for a new one the buttonholes turned out GREAT! Thank you 😊

Hello, i am having this problem with a ready made jacket. It has no buttons or buttonholes. I am trying to make these on it. I do not have any fabric the same thickness but yours seems to be either felt, or fleece, wool. What can i do? And the pressure foot pulls on the fabric as the foot has a roughness underneath to foot which catches on the fabric. I have two jackets without any buttons or buttonholes.

Thank you so much! I am making a button front skirt and was able to do all the holes easily except for the first one directly below the waist band. Thanks to you video I realized it was because the waistband is just a touch thicker and was affecting the button hole foot. I turned the skirt the other way around so that the back of the foot was now facing the hem end and therefore not affected by the waistband. And that fixed it! 😊

buttonhole function isn't engaging reverse and thus only makes half a buttonhole. what is wrong?

[dreamdancer]

Thank you, my buttonhole stitch lengths on the left and right are not even. The left is shorter and the right is longer. Would you know what's causing the issue?
