Buttonhole Tutorial: Cutting the Hole
Now that you have your buttonhole sewn you have to cut out the middle. Turn your fabric to the wrong side and pull the needle thread through to the back. (Do this by giving the bobbin thread tail a little pull, the needle thread should poke through. Use a pin to pull it all [...]
Buttonhole Tutorial Preparing to Sew
Put your buttonhole foot on your machine. Thread your machine and pull the needle and bobbin threads to the left. (I used black thread in my bobbin and white thread for the needle so it would be easy to see which was which.) In the meantime mark your buttonhole. Many patterns have the buttonholes [...]

Tutorial ~ Bag Straps
For a basic flat handle you would cut the fabric 4x the finished width. For example, this 1″ strap started off with a piece of fabric cut 4″ x 20″. You would also cut the interfacing to the same dimensions. Interfacing is a must for sturdy, long lasting straps. I use either decor-bond or craft-fuse. [...]
