I just recently discovered how to stitch buttons down on my machine, and I'm hooked!
I linked to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:

I only stitch my buttons by machine now! I don't have the button foot, but I use my darning/free motion foot. I have to stabilize the button a bit in the beginning, but it works great!
YEAH! I totally have that foot and had no idea what it was for. I just turned my feed dog off and used my regular foot. One other trick I do is to put a piece of scotch tape over the button to hold them all in place where I want them and then just go around stitching them down! Love it!

PS. Can't wait for the pintuck tutorial!
Now I know what THAT foot is for and how to use it! Thank you!
Awesome! I'm so excited to make something with buttons now! I HATE hand sewing anything!!!!
I love sewing buttons with my machine! I have featured your wonderful tutorial on my blog! Come check it out!! http://jandeecrafts.blogspot.com/2010/08/never-sew-another-button-by-hand.html
Have a great day!
Thanks...always saw that clear foot in my bag, and now I can use it. Just fixed a button for my husband...he's happy :0) Also used your buttonhole tutorial yesterday. Thanks for the clear, easy instructions!
I've never seen that before! Does it creat a 'shank' when the button is put on like that? Or is there a way to create a shank?
I am so stoked to try this. I just started sewing about a year ago and am self taught so there are quite a few things (to say the least) that I don't know about sewing. Thanks!
