Help with button hole attachment please!!
I'm using my avatar. It came with a Greist button hole attachment. I've used it before but I use it so infrequently that I always forget how to use it.
Today I'm getting nowhere. I've tried 2 different types of fabrics. I'm trying to put bottonholes in a synthetic but I also tried a cotton as a test and got nowheere.
It seems to me I need to do something with the settings on my machine. I thought I wrote all this down but I guess not. I've dropped the feed dogs in lieu of using the cover plate. I have straight stitch selected. Am I supposed to change my machine stitch length or width? Is this the attachment that I set the length to "0"? I keep trying different combos but just getting frustrated. The manual does not say anything about the machine settings, but I swear they have to be changed.
On my last try, the fabric wasn't moving, I was just sewing the same spot over and over. On my previous try, the fabric moved too much and I even broke a needle.
Thanks!!
