Buttonhole Wheels Video Tutorial
Once you know how to do the buttonhole stitch, it's just a matter of "working it" a bit to master variations of the stitch. In this video, I'll show you how to work a buttonhole wheel, which can be effectively used in all kinds of embroidery - I like to use them for flower-like accents and for adding texture and such to designs.
If you want to see some embroidery with buttonhole wheel techniques, you can check out these hollyhocks and these other flowers embroidered with buttonhole stitch.
If you haven't tried the basic buttonhole stitch yet, you might want to check out the video tutorial for buttonhole stitch as well.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos. I refer to them often. You do such a wonderful job in explaining the stitches as well as showing them. I'm left-handed and yet I have absolutely no difficulty in being about to make my own stitches work. Thanks Again!

Thank you so much for video's of stitches. These are really helpful in so many ways. One way is slowing a collection of the sticthes to gether to make something like what you did with the button hole wheels. Linda
Thanks so much for this video! I just could not "get" this stitch from written instructions, and wasted too much time and yarn in frustration! Watching the video, I instantly saw what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much! - Ivy
Mary, This video is great (as they ALL are!). And when I took a look at your hollyhocks from the link, I can see how it can be used so beautifully. Thanks again for bringing my love for embroidery back into my life. You make it so so easy. Linda in Israel
Thanks, Linda! I'm glad you're enjoying embroidery again! It's such a pleasure, isn't it? Relaxing, creative.... Enjoy your stitching!
Best,
Mary
I really appreciate that you took the time to make these videos to share with us. They are so incredibly helpful! I could never quite figure out how to start the buttonhole wheel until seeing your tutorial.
Your web page and blog are such a great resource for people who are interested in embroidery!
