Using a Vintage Buttonhole Attachment
(Edited)
I used to avoid buttonholes on my modern sewing machine, but my Kenmore from the 1970s has a delightful attachment that makes lovely buttonholes of uniform size with ease.
First I set up the machine according to the manual:
The attachment screws into a small hole in the back of the machine bed.
Stitch width is set between 1 and 2. Feed dogs are down, so stitch length is controlled by the movement of the attachment, not the feed dogs.
The front of the attachment snaps over a tiny gear on the buttonhole plate which replaces the regular bobbin cover plate.
Now for the video of this beauty in action:

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.

My mother had an old black Singer sewing machine, which I used when I learned to sew. I don't know how old it was, but it was already old in the 1970s. It, too, was easy to use and made uniform buttonholes. I miss it.
Those old mechanical machines and their attachments are fabulous. Many of us prefer our heavy metal machines with no computers to fail. !BBH
I congratulate you on the initiative. We should use accessories more often.
Thank you. !BBH
