This foot helps fight uneven layers and different fabrics with ease. In fashion, sometimes bigger is better, and buttons are no exception! Extra large buttons are an ongoing trend in clothing, but the standard buttonhole foot can't accommodate buttons that large. The new large buttonhole foot and stabilizer plate can create buttonholes for buttons that are 1"-2" (25-50mm) in diameter. It can be used with any Janome made machine that creates automatic buttonholes. Feeding various kinds of fabric and uneven layers can be difficult when sewing buttonholes. That is why Janome created the Buttonhole Stabilizer Plate. This plate works in conjunction with Buttonhole Foot R to feed uneven layers smoothly-ensuring even and precise buttonholes, even on jeans, wool, fleece, or stretch fabrics. Fabric is sandwiched between the plate holder (with attached buttonhole foot) on top and the metal plate underneath to support fabric while feeding. The plate holder also includes markings to align the edge of the fabric for neat and tidy buttonhole placement.
