Yes, I love wonder tape too! Glue sticks are just handy if you’re like me and run out and want to sew right away 🙂

i love making button-up shirts and girl’s dresses and i use wonder tape by the roll and have for years … joanns has it for 1/2 price when the notions wall goes on sale ….

again, thanks for the tips …

Especially the interfacing. I never knew when it should be on the outside or inside. I’ve always had good luck with buttonholes even with my cheapo Brother machines. I actually kind of like making them but always do a test too.

And I am so glad to hear that the buttonhole dilemma is not actually me, and possibly because my machine just doesn’t like doing them! Thank you for this helpful post!

It was super awesome to collaborate with you on this…I’m learning to actually like sewing button up shirts.
