Hi Robyn,

Your buttonhole tutorial is great, but my Bernina 440 is inconsistent. I made adjustments then tested on a scrap. The buttonhole on the scrap was good but the machine continued along on the left side even though it was programmed. I had to pick out several buttonholes, which we ALL hate. It was a jacket with 12 buttonholes, and I finally got 12, having ripped out 3:( On another garment, I did manual buttonholes…

Thanks so much for publishing this! I can’t seem to find the manual for my machine and need to make a buttonhole to finish a project tonight. So instead of being stuck…onward I go!

This is truly a superb tutorial on a beautiful, excellent blog! My sincere thanks. You’d make an excellent educator for the mastery classes. If you wrote a supplemental manual or made a DVD on the 440, I’d buy it!

Thank you so much for this. It answered in more detail and better than anything I could find on youtube! Off to make my button holes now. Wish me luck!

Very nice tutorial! Good reminder of what the class told me.

We learned to thread the needle before putting the foot on, then pulling the foot up the needle, pulling the thread down through it, and then attaching the foot. I do this for all the closed feet to get the thread below and behind the needle.

Thank you so much, I tried repeatedly without success to get the buttonhole length correct, following my instruction booklet, but hadn't realised I needed to hit the reverse button! REALLY appreciate this tutorial. .-= Julie´s last blog ..Splendid Isolation =-.

Oh my gosh! Thanks to those who posted the solution to the buttonholer not working. I was just getting ready to take it in when I read that I should make sure everything is clean. It WORKED!! After many, many tries and a failed project my buttonholes look like normal again. Thanks for the tutorial and for all the helpful comments.

Thanks for the tutorial. They showed me how to do this 5 years ago when I bought the machine but was at a total loss tonight as I finally had the need to make a buttonhole. Your tutorial allowed me to keep going! Thanks again!
