Hi all!! New to the forum.
I recently inherited a White model 77 sewing machine. I cleaned the machine, replaced drive wheel, and power cord. It works perfectly and performs a very nice straight sew.
To have a little fun with the machine, I bought a few attachments/feet off of eBay, including a buttonholer. It looks identical to this:

Now the issue, when I install it, everything works fine except the threads are not engaging. The fabric moves around as it should, needle moves up and down (going through the base plate of the attachment). If I only install the base plate for the attachment, it does the same thing. However, as soon as I remove that plate the sewing machine works fine.
Does this issue sound familiar to anybody?
Thanks.
