It worked very well.

Glad it worked for you Joe. I am not really surprised. I learned to do this for buttonholes way back in the 60's when I was a teenager making garments. There was not much variety in thread in those days, and buttonhole twist was not readily available in colors a teenager wanted to use. The trick is truly the large eye needle. I have continued to do this through the years and it is also how I hem jeans sometimes. Gives a heavier thread look. Glad to hear it works on these older machines that I have recently fallen in love with!
