Thank you nice quilters! I really appreciate your help.

I seldom use the up/down button. Just a tap of the foot control works for me. Now that I'm used to it I miss it when I sew on my FW. And as far as buttonholes. My 870 came with a buttonhole attachment that's supposed to be fabulous. I can't speak from experience cause I've never used it. Anyone else tried theirs?
