Question by ~xoxo!~: a sewing question?
You’re sewing a child’s nylon jacket. You notice the fabric frays easily. Which would be your best buttonhole option?
A. Bound buttonhole
B. Jetted and piped buttonhole
C. Machine-stitched worked buttonhole
D. Handworked buttonhole with iron-on tape
Best answer:
Answer by marc_recardo
I would do C and I would go around another and possibly a 3rd time before I cut the slot. I would also do an iron-on very light weight interfacing on the wrong side before I do the machine stitching. Just iron on a little patch right where the button hole is going to be.

I think I’d put snaps on instead…otherwise use the iron on tape so it doesn’t fray while you’re working the buttonhole.

Question by twinmom: When sewing a garment how do you sew on bias tape?
I am sewing a child’s apron. The pattern calls for 1/4 inch double fold bias tape to be stitched around the edges. It looks simple enough but I am having trouble stiching it properly and neatly. I have to fold the tape over the edge of the fabric and then stitch that down. How do I make sure the fabric and tape stay in place? Several times I have fed the whole thing through the machine only to find that the fabric slipped out of the binding because it wasn’t stitched into the fold. Also, how do I make a straight stitch? The tape is so narrow I have no room and I don’t know how to make sure the machine makes a straight line. Can anyone help?
Is Steam a Seam like Stitch Witchery (the iron down tape)?

Answer by kbutler1995
I like to use Steam a Seam for hold edging in place with out pins and it will give you an idea of how it will look when done. The steam a Seam is put on with hot iron with steam output. If results aren’t perfect in your eyes you can seperate fabric before it cools down.

Question by Sunny: Sewing Embroidery question?
Hi – I would like to embroider blankets with names and personalized messages along the binding. what kind of embroidery sewing machine would be good for this. It is not for a business (as of now), just for myself and gifts. Any ideas??

Answer by Grouch
There are several out there. Look at Singer and Brother. You probably don’t want to spend a lot on it if it’s just for personal use so those two would not be very expensive.
