I too was wondering why anyone wouldn't want a button holer to go with their machine. I LOVE my button holers. I tried a couple of times to make one of the "automatic" button holes on my newer Singer embroidery/sewing machine and couldn't get it to work right. I even tried making a button hole with my Singer 27 treadle and it worked beautifully. My collection won't match Joe's, but I'm keeping what I have!
