Here’s a little video I made about how to use gimp in your buttonholes. The cinematic quality is not great, but you can see what I’m doing with my hands to get the buttonhole made.

Thanks for sharing this. I was wondering how you did it. I have the same buttonholer, what I probably don’t have is the patience.
Sure! The learning curve was pretty flat. For the fist couple, I could not figure out what to do with the ends of the gimp. Then I watched some videos on hand buttonholes with gimp and found that you’re supposed to bury the ends under the stitches, which makes sense.
Nice tutorial!!
Very interesting, Claudine! Thanks for that demo.
Awesome! I love that end result!
Thank you! I didn’t know how to do buttonholes w/gimp and now I do! I have the same kind of clack buttonholer, too!
that was very good – thanks for taking the time to do this!
