In the end, I was really pleased with the quality and ease of my modern Bernina's buttonholes, but I agree that sometimes it's better to go old school!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-35875605971422835672015-12-06T11:54:49.134-05:002015-12-06T11:54:49.134-05:00You totally rocked this project!

As I read through your buttonhole woes, I couldn't help thinking about how un-fussy my vintage automatic buttonholer is. I use it with my old straight stitch machines. But then I thought about what a racket it makes and thought I'd be scared silly with every buttonhole, using it on that silk.

My mother made buttonholes all the time with her straight stitch Singer sewing machine and a buttonhole attachment that was way bigger than the Bernina automatic foot. My buttonholes are scary things to me. In your place I would have sewn on snaps with buttons on top so it looked like the dress was buttoned but was really snapped together so your dress is "real" and mine would have been fake<br />Your dress is gorgeous I hope you are able to sing to your hearts content and make a bit of money out of the deal.....colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979234789965049533noreply@blogger.com
