Sewing Basics - Sewing Bulky Seams By Nancy Fiedler You may have noticed the little black button that is on Zigzag Foot A that comes with many Janome machines and wondered what is the purpose? This is the leveling button that will allow you to start at the edge of thick fabrics and even hem jeans! It is so simple to use, follow the steps below: 1. Place thick layers of fabric under the foot or stop sewing, needle down, when the front of the foot lifts higher than the back. 2. Lift the foot, gently push on front of the foot to make it level, then push the button in to lock it into posiiton. www.janome.com Page 1 Sewing Basics - Sewing Bulky Seams 3. While holding the button, lower the presser foot. The foot will stay level. Tip: Use the knee lift to raise and lower the foot. 4. Start sewing. The button will automatically release when the foot comes off the hump. 5. Continue sewing. Use this little trick any time you have a seam which causes the foot to slightly lift in front of the needle. If this foot is not available for your machine, purchase the Button Shank Plate. 1. Place the plate behind and under the foot to lift the foot to the same height as the bulky seam. Lower the presser foot. The foot will now sit level. www.janome.com Page 2 Sewing Basics - Sewing Bulky Seams 2. Start sewing; remove the plate once the foot is fully on the fabric. www.janome.com Page 3.

Sew on Flat and Shank Buttons By: Burdastyle
Sew on Flat and Shank Buttons By: BurdaStyle http://www.burdastyle.com/techniques/sew-on-flat-and-shank-buttons Whether you lost a button from your favorite coat or you are sewing a new blouse from your favorite BurdaStyle pattern, sewing on a button is a skill you can master quickly and can easily be learned! Step 1 Your materials: needle, thread (button and carpet, upholstery, or topstitch thread is better because it is thicker), a pin or toothpick, buttons, scissors. Optional: for shank buttons, you can use a small flat button (either clear or to match the fabric) to make the shank button more stable 1SewStep 2 Thread the needle and knot one end of the thread. Decide where your button will be placed, and pull the needle through from the wrong side to the right side, so the knotted end is on the wrong side. Make two to three stitches in this place to anchor the thread. Place the button on top of these stitches. Step 3 Bring the needle up through the button, from the back side. 2Step 4 Lay the pin or toothpick over the button. This will be used as a spacer. Step 5 Take the thread over the spacer and back through the opposite buttonhole. Repeat about 6 times. For a 4-hole button, repeat these steps for the other two holes. 3Step 6 Bring the needle and thread to the back and knot and trim the thread. Remove the straight pin. Now you've sewn on your flat button! Step 7 To attach a button with a shank, begin with steps 1 and 2.

Sewing Basics - Know Your Needles by Nancy Fiedler
Sewing Basics - Know Your Needles By Nancy Fiedler Whether you have a top-of-the-line sewing machine or an economy model, the most important tool used is the sewing machine needle. The sewing life of a needle is 8 hours. In that time, the point will become worn and stitch quality may become compromised. Keep a variety of needles on-hand to change regularly. A good rule of thumb is to use a new needle at the start of every project. The type and size of needle to use is determined by: • Thread type: polyester, cotton, rayon or metallic • Thread weight: 12wt, 30wt, 40wt, 60wt, 90wt (The higher the number, the finer the thread.) • Fabric type: knit, woven, densely woven, specialty • Technique: general sewing, embroidery, embellishing or quilting Take a look at the anatomy of a needle: www.janome.com Page 1 Sewing Basics - Know Your Needles A sewing machine needle is made of six parts: 1. The Shank is the upper portion of the needle, which is inserted into the sewing machine. The shank on a needle for domestic sewing has a flat back. This needle system is indicated on some packaging by these notations: HA x 1, 15 x 1 or 130/705. 2. The Shaft is the entire lower portion of the needle. The size of the needle is determined by the diameter of the shaft. The smaller the number, the smaller the shaft will be. The eye will increase in size proportionately to the size of the shaft. 3. The Groove is on the front of the needle.

Attaching Buttons to 18Th Century Clothes
Attaching buttons to 18th Century clothes Several types of buttons were used on 18th century clothes: metal shanked buttons, bone, wood, and horn buttons with holes, thread “Dorset”, “crosswheel”, buttons, thread covered “Death head” and “Basket Weave” buttons, and cloth covered buttons. Military clothing typically used metal shanked buttons to ensure longevity. Cloth covered, bone, wood, and horn buttons were common on civilian breeches, frock coats, jackets, coatees, surtouts, waistcoats, and shirts. Thread and wire buttons were common on shirt and chemise collars and cuffs, especially more intimate garments where hard buttons would be uncomfortable. Some shirts used “sleeve buttons” made from small metal buttons held together with a metal link similar to modern cuff links. As they were largely used in civilian shirts or by Officers, they are not detailed here. Images from W. Booth, Draper at the Sign of the Unicorn. Thread buttons (left) Dorset Buttons (right) Basket weave thread covered buttons (left) Death Head thread covered buttons (right) Horn button (left) Metal, shanked buttons (right) Attaching the different types of buttons required different techniques. This tutorial describes the techniques to attach metal shanked buttons, buttons with holes, cloth covered buttons, thread and Dorset buttons. Warner’s Extra-Continental Regiment Page 1 of 6 Shanked Buttons with Tape. Attaching shanked buttons to both military and civilian clothing with linen tape, or leather thongs was very common. It allowed the buttons to sit flat against the fabric, is quick to sew, and makes it virtually impossible for the button to pull out or fall off. This technique can be used on Regimental coats, waistcoats, breeches, gaiters – any place buttons with shanks are used.
