Tips for sewing your first button down

Sewing your first button down can be a little bit scary. There are so many steps and so many visible details. But if you break it down step by step it can actually be fun. Last week I shared some of my favorite tips over on the We All Sew blog that will help you sew a professional looking button down shirt or dress. 

I talk about the presser feet I use for topstitching, buttons and buttonholes. Plus I detail how to sew a buttonhole on the BERNINA 350PE. Head over to We All Sew to check it out. 

P.S. Are there any other sewing techniques you'd like to learn more about? Let me know in the comments.
