How to use your Singer Professional Buttonholer attachment

[@aprilgrant1957]

Your continued attention to detail never fails to inspire. My new sewing motto: Take My Time.

[@marlak4203]

Yes. I want her details to hairstyling too. Where are they at? Lol. The pin curl/roller curls ams how she flyffs them.

[@carolinestagg6807]

Thank you ! It’s been a long time since I have sewn with a buttonholer -. Like 50 years !!

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

I bought a Singer buttonholer in 1989 from a sewing machine store after reading about it. It was also for a vertical-shank machine. You’re right , these attachments last forever. I have a slant-needle Singer now too, and I bought the Singer buttonholer for it on eBay. ❤

[@kellybryson7754]

That is a cool contraption!

[@linellcorban4194]

I am impressed with the bound buttonhole!

[@SewRena]

It’s a life saver! I love it

[@StephanieCanada]

This can do an eyelet hole?! Mind blown!!! ❤❤❤

[@stevezytveld6585]

The original metal cam for eyelets that would be used in the 1960 'atomic' buttonhole (also works with the older metal model) foot is prized by collectors. If you're looking for an alternative, The Featherweight Shop sells a plastic replica cam that works just as well. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

Hi, Stephanie Canada! I have actually made a couple of eyelets with the Singer buttonholer. They came out great.

[@margot6845]

This is so helpful, thank you! I bought a vintage buttonholer a few years ago to use with my vintage machine, but I was never sure what the knobs on the side were for!

[@annahackman2539]

I have a similar buttonholer attachment and you have enlightened me on how it works and how to make the machine work with it.

[@katwitanruna]

Well done! You’re an excellent teacher!

[@linedezainde]

Thank you soooo much! This video is much clearer than the instruction booklet. Can't wait to try!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

That bound buttonhole looks impressive. Love it.

[@katwitanruna]

I don’t care what you post. I enjoy all of them.

[@SewRena]

I truly appreciate your support

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Wow! Such a blast from the past!

[@evatorres5336]

Quisiera saber si se puede utilizar el aparato sin disco porque yo tengo ese aparato pero no tiene disco

[@joybellamy5561]

I love it just for the bound buttonholes alone 😂

[@johannaholmgren8088]

What a cool accessory. I've never heard of one of those before.

[@stilettodivah]

This was very helpful. I love bound buttonhole look. I need to try it.

[@stevezytveld6585]

I have the green-case 'atomic' 1960 low shank buttonholer foot. It is everything. Completely in love with the results it makes. So glad you're sharing the knowledge. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@stevezytveld6585]

Question - for the bound buttonhole option, do you run the stitch over the ironed buttonhole? Sorry, bound buttonholes are still on my to-do list so there are some things that almost make sense. Also, the facing that covers the inside of the bound buttonhole - do you have to cut and iron a matching hole? Sorry, not sure if I'm asking that clearly.

[@hmixon99]

I inherited my husband's grandmother's machine. It has one of these, and I wasn't sure how to use it. I also inherited all of her patterns.

[@dodidodi9632]

why? she doesn't have daughters who like sewing. I hope you treasure it.

[@ladybugcrafts2014]

Thank you so much for this video. I feel much more confidant using my buttonholer now. I wasn't sure how to line up the beginning, and guessing doesn't always work. lol I'm saving this video so I can reference it again if I have any more problems. Thanks again.

[@MeganMakesMesses]

Great tutorial! I love using my singer buttonhole attachments with my modern sewing machine. It makes much higher quality buttonholes with more shapes and styles to choose from. Mine don’t have the bound buttonhole option but they have lovely keyhole buttonhole options as well.

[@penniecormier8770]

Wow! Thank you so much for the demo ! I’ve found one of these and it’s been gathering dust for a couple of years!

[@Catsface99]

Thank you!! I just bought the exact same buttonholer that you have and I am very pleased that ironically I came across your video regarding how to use is. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

[@katwitanruna]

You can get a near satin stitch if you make your zigzag stitch really really tight. Takes forever and you have to practice but I’ve done it both by hand and with an attachment. Prefer attachments!!

[@stevezytveld6585]

I read in a book somewhere that you use a shorter, looser stitch on the buttonhole foot for the first pass. Then for the second pass you use a tighter wider stitch. It's suppose to mimic a hand-sewn buttonhole (because that apparently used to be a flex with the Granny's??). - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@carolecarlson1645]

Love your videos, this was great. Thank you!🎉

[@MyMike509]

Sweet! I love my 158 Kenmore low shank! They are great machines - I have/use the Kenmore buttonholer attachment with minet, but also have the Singer Professional - just never tried it on the Kenmore! Great video!

[@NadoCrowFriend]

Thanks for this extremely helpful video!

[@anastasiaburchette1531]

Extremely informative

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

This was so helpful!!! Thank you!

[@SewRena]

You are so welcome 💕 thanks for watching

[@jdawz2816]

Excellent tutorial💯🤗

[@5onCover]

Thank you! Excellent video!

[@juniper111984]

Omg I have one of these. I've never tried. I got it with a Singer machine. I think it might be the other type of shaft you mentioned? Maybe I'm going to have to see if I can figure it out. Luckily it actually still has the manual!

[@SewRena]

It’s so worth it! I’ve even have a friend who uses modern machines who was able to make it work on her machine 😂.

[@juniper111984]

@SewRena That's so cool! I'm definitely going to check it out! The only thing is the singer machine I have is straight stitch only so I'm very curious about how this gadget works!

[@elizabethw1142]

It is so worth it - just watch videos, read the instructions - go slow - it'll come together faster than you think and then WOW!

[@cdpterodactyl]

This was so helpful! I found one in the back of a drawer and it didn't have its book.

[@hitoortega1616]

Excellent ☺️

[@vannasgran6176]

A great tutorial

[@katwitanruna]

How cool!! Shared with my family on discord and the world on tumblr.

[@SewRena]

Thank you so much I truly appreciate it 💕❤️❤️

[@saleemahfareed4495]

Sewrena I enjoyed your video I don’t know to sow but your video are so awesome thanks for sharing ❤😊 8:32

[@SewRena]

Thank you for watching and supporting ❤️💕💕

[@OlufelaDavid-ti8qv]

How can I get this please?

[@nyves104]

💜💜💜💜

[@douglasmalthus]

I heard you say, at least I believe I heard you say, that the buttonhole was used on high shank sewing machines, but your sewing machine seems to me to be a slow shank. Could you tell me if your buttonholer is for "high" or "slow" shank? I found a buttonholer in ebay with this message write in the box: SIMS 4634 and below V102878 - do you know if this for slow shank sewing machines? Thank you from Brazil!

[@SewRena]

It’s for low vertical shank and you can get a slant shank option

[@douglasmalthus]

@@SewRena Thank you, Rena!

[@conniemcmillian7010]

❤❤❤❤

[@baraitalo]

I use a version of this with my singer 221 - doesn't need to be able to zigzag

[@elizabethw1142]

In fact, I think zigzagging hinders getting perfect buttonholes. I use mine on my 1971 Kenmore with it in straight stitch setting and the buttonholes were perfect

Most youe itens are dressy. Abd made more for people who had mobey for fashion. Havw a Bless day, grandma Rose

[@castironmarshmello7430]

I have a built in buttinhole make on my Kenmore 1785. It come with attachments. Make a BEAUTIFUL BUTTONHOLE‼️‼️❤️....... DOWN WITH BARTACK BOTTONHOLE‼️😒

[@Lonelyone1111]

Wow button holes will never happen. How anyone learns this. I hope the newer machines do button holes lol that's like leaning GREEK meaning hard❤❤❤

[@elizabethw1142]

Regular buttonholes are not hard at all with these attachments. Just follow the instructions step by step and you'll be pleasantly surpised!

[@theskirtlady7890]

Thank you so so much for this video, especially the demo on the bound button. 🪡🪡🪡
