Even changed the bobbin all by myself! I started a reversible bag...I'm skirting the whole button hole thing my making a loop out of fabric and sewing it into the "flap" of the bag -- so the loop can simply go around the button. Or something. In all honestly I'm just making it up as I go along. Suddenly I feel like the one wrap skirt I made this weekend is a little…lame.

Just a quick note..I was wondering if you have talked to your local Brother Sewing Machine dealer? Perhaps they can point out some tips/hints that will help with the button holes. Hi!

Have a couple of little girls on my gift list, so I think I may add a thin strap and tuck that inside so they can use them as purses!

Sounds like your tension is off on either or both ends. Maybe Penny's flossing pulled things a little out of whack. Now that you have a new needle in check your thread and bobbin thread tension.

Make sure your buttonhole lever is down as far as it will go. The buttonhole lever is behind the bracket on the buttonhole foot. Also, when lowering the presser foot, do not push in the front of the presser foot. Maybe this will help!
