Fear of...

    ...bound buttonholes.

    My sewing machine makes beautiful, consistent, finished buttonholes. But only up to 1 inch in size.

    The jacket I just finished needs BIG buttons. Bigger than 1 inch. The only kind of buttonhole to do is a bound buttonhole. I am scared to death to try it!

    I googled until I found a few different techniques and tried all three on practice materials late this afternoon.

    But I'm still not feeling comfortable with this! I brought the fabric for this jacket back from Hilo, Hawaii. I do not want to mess this up!

    I need a pep talk.

    Here were a couple of the best tutorials I found showing how to make bound buttonholes:
