BOM February 2024 – Block 1 & 2

 

From February 2024 to December 2024, we will be creating Blocks which will assist you in understanding stitches, techniques and accessories. When completed, the blocks will be pieced together then quilted using different techniques. If you do not wish to create the Blocks each month, simply learn the techniques and use them to create or embellish other projects.

Button Sewing Foot – Accessory of the Month February 2024

 

Quick and easy button sewing with a special button sewing foot…. Who would have thought? Hand sewing buttons is a thing of the past! This foot has two bars that attach to the foot holder to provide extra stability and has a textured, rubber sleeve to hold the button securely in place while sewing.

Simply select a zigzag stitch, adjust the stitch width to 3.5mm, drop your feed dogs, place your button under the foot (ensuring on the zig and zag motion the needle enters the holes on the button) and commence sewing. It’s that easy!

Your machine may have built-in sewing applications, making this easy task even easier. You can also use the button sewing technique to decorate quilts and other craft projects, helping them to stand out by giving them a 3D effect.

This Accessory of the Month has a bonus project for you to make.
