Sorry, I didn't mean to badmouth your machine! I've never seen one firsthand, I saw one on CL a while back but decided not to look at it after researching it. I just have the feeling the teeth on the rack and pinion wouldn't hold up, especially with high speed use. It probably would make a nice dedicated buttonholer, though. I do like the looks of them.
