Just so you know, the buttonhole feature on the sewing machine works just fine.
Comments
Using the buttonhole feature on my machine always makes me feel like a genius. It seems once I make one buttonhole, I find dozens of other things that "need" a buttonhole.
i was so thrilled when my new machine had an automatic buttonhole foot. tell it the length of the hole you want, depress the pedal and wait for it to finish.
and the coolest thing about the automatic buttonhole, is it has MEMORY. So you can make a ga-jillion of the same size. And store it in the memory for later too.
brilliant.
I like the pink!
My sewing machine (a 10-year old Elna Quilter's Dream) recently broke down (the computer in it) and I'm in the market for a new machine. What is your machine and do you like it? Thanks. I mostly quilt but also do other simple things like placemats and purses.

Is this a colour cast happening?

(Hey is Bel kidding there.. I know your machine is capable of many incredible things, but really, 27??)

Can't wait to see the finished product. It looks pretty so far.

I've always been too afraid to try. Now I'll have to go for it!
