Create interesting texture and surface embellishment by sewing the Eyelet Stitch randomly on your fabric. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Be sure to use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. Learn more about needles on the SINGER website. The Button Sewing Stitch is used along with a Button Sewing Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) to easily attach buttons by machine. The foot holds the button in place, while still providing a clear view of the stitching area. The rubber grips on the front of the foot keep the button from slipping out of place. See this video for informtion on sewing buttons by machine. Attach ribbons or trims to a base fabric for a fun embellishment. Disengage the machine's feed teeth (see your machine's manual). Cut a length of ribbon, then sew the Button Sewing Stitch over it to secure it in place on the main fabric. It is helpful to place a small scrap of stabilizer underneath the fabric. When the stitch has been sewn, bring thread tails to the back side of the fabric with a hand sewing needle, then tie the ribbon into a bow to finish. The Button Sewing Stitch can be used to attach quilt layers together. Disengage the machine's feed teeth (see your machine's manual). Attach the Button Sewing Foot or Open Toe Foot (additional accessory for some machine models). Place the quilt layers underneath the foot, lower the presser foot lifter and sew 8-10 stitches to tack the layers together. Stitches can be easily removed with a seam ripper after the project has been quilted. Before attaching large snaps or similar closures, it can be helpful to reinforce the area first to stabilize these stress points on the project. Place a small piece of fusible stabilizer behind the area where the snap or closure will be sewn. Sew the "outline" Eyelet Stitch to stabililze, then attach the snap or 29 of 360
