Buttonhole Busterä

What is the Buttonhole Busterä and what is it for?  The Buttonhole Busterä is another problem solving invention from the SN Designs Co, the small company that invented the Original, One and Only Hump Jumperâ and the quilter’s third hand, the Puts-itä: the sewing notions that solve such frustrating problems.  The Buttonhole Busterä is the solution for sewing buttonholes in those impossible places: collar bands, narrow cuffs, and areas with lumpy, bumpy seams such as thick seam allowances in small places.

The bi-level bottom of the Buttonhole Busterä is its creative feature:  the unique bottom allows the presser foot to fit snugly where thick seams cause the general purpose or buttonhole foot to sit unbalanced.  Narrow pattern pieces such as collars and neck bands are examples of where seam allowances cause the presser foot to wobble due to uneven thickness.

Using the general purpose, lower the presser foot into the grooved out section of the Buttonhole Busterä, between the long front feet, and continue sewing the buttonhole.  The grooved out area holds the presser foot in place Use the metric/inch measures to gauge uttonhole length.  Placing interfacing between the fashion fabric and the facing will help insure perfect buttonholes in impossible places.  To assist with sewing buttons with shanks, use the keyhole opening on the opposite end of the foot. 

The Buttonhole Busterä is designed to help make better buttonholes.  Remember; before you start your buttonhole make sure you complete the prep work: placement, measurement, interfacing, and double check buttonhole length with circumference and diameter of the chosen button.

The Buttonhole Busterä is the perfect tool for your hard to sew buttonholes.  Adding it to the notion box, right next to the Hump Jumperâ and Puts-itä, you will have all the sewing notions that solve such frustrating problems!  Hint - use a piece of Velcro to attach it to your sewing machine, right next to your The Hump Jumper® - you’ll always have it handy!

Happy Sewing,
