This video tutorial walks you through the 4 step method of sewing buttonholes with your Singer Sewing machine. Some Singer’s have automatic buttonhole functions. Sorry, I have never used one. Some Singers have manual buttonhole functions, and this 4 step is very similar.

The advantage of the 4 step buttonhole functions on a Singer equipped with such, is that the switch automatically chooses the correct stitch zig-zag width and direction of moving the fabric for you.

You can buy a buttonhole foot for your Singer sewing machine on our buttonhole foot page.

Hope this video tutorial helps you get to your sewing projects!

   Hi Robin, I see you left a comment on a 2006 entry of my blog. I’ll have to come back here to look at your blog, especially because I do use a Singer!

   Thanks so much for the tutorial, my singer handbook is very vague and I couldnt figure this out, by watching your tutorial I was able to figure it out and am on my way to making great buttonholes!!!

   Hi Karen,
   Don’t know what the problem was, so I switched the video to the one that’s at YouTube (I’d had the Google Video one on the blog, and it wasn’t loading in IE, though it was loading in Firefox). Thanks for the heads up, hope it’s working now!
