Hand Sewing

I have pulled out my magic loom set and decided to make something with them.  Unfortunately, I don't understand how the buttonhole stitch works by the diagram.  These are an older set of 3 metal pronged(?) looms.  Anyway, I began looking online for some simpler instructions with a better diagram.  I got sidetracked and found this site.  It's great for a beginner learning to hand sew and those who just want to learn new stitches.  I think its very easy to follow and hope you get something out of it.  Thanks to Univ. of Kentucky for the instructions!
