My sewing machine can't handle the fine fabric that I am using to make a vest. I need an alternative method for making button holes.

Can you do some reinforcing/facing tape behind it to give it more body?

Hi, photobyralph!

I moved your question out of Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will be more likely to be noticed and addressed by those who are best able to help you. Introductions is only for people to introduce themselves and others to welcome them. We try to not ask questions in Introductions.

We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions to tell us more about yourself, if you would be willing to do that.

I do note, that you already received a response from NOhelp4u and I do agree that reinforcing the fabric in some way might help to to make the button holes.

Thanks!
