Thread: Buttonholes

I have been making these little towels that button to the stove. Using scrap material and $1 store microfibre dishcloths. I have been going 3 times round using the button holer takes less than 5 minutes for the whole project!

The low shank button holler in the green square box is the one you want. You can find them on Good Will auctions, you local sewing machine shop, sometimes at thrift stores, yard sales, just about everywhere.

Here is a picture of some of my button hollers:

Any of the ones in the Green plastic boxes will work on a Featherweight.

I used one all the time when I was in high school. I'm now looking for one for my Singer slant-o-matics. I really like the one in the pink jetson case for my Rocketeer.

Minerval,

The one in the pink case will fit the Slant-O-Matics too. They are slant shanks like the Rocketeer.

I've gotten them for as little as $5.00 + shipping from Good Will auctions, and as little as $4.00 from a thrift store. My LSMG sells them for $20.00.

Here's one on GW for $5.00 + shipping starting bid:

The one in the green case, rectangle or egg shaped, are for low (straight) shank machines.
