interesting thread i've recently brought 2 of these green button hole makers for kenmores i have a old kenmore and now i learn how to use these button hole makers to find out my machine is older and the gear plate wont fit but i believe my machine was made to use one just a different gear plate the model # of my machine is 158.13201. i was going to throw away this old machine but couldnt bring myself to do it so dug last year and couldn't find the cord. so i guess i'll be watching for brown button makers for this machine.
