And then there were 14

With the exception of the attachments boxes, I try to keep only one of each "toy", so I don't run out of space. It's still touch and go anyway.
I figured out how to be productive that many sewing machines in the room yesterday. I took the 503 and the serger outside and worked on the deck.
In fairness, I've done buttonholes before, but on a "4 step buttonhole" sewing machine, and I hated them. They almost always turned out some weird trapazoidal shape. I also tried one on my treadle that didn't go well, but I later figured out that the needle was backwards, so I can't blame any one but me one that one. I agree with what people say here about these buttonholer attachment ones being so much nicer.
I sure think this one's a keeper. I'm even getting used to the knee lever, though I do think the pedal needs an adjustment.

The thunderstorm put the kibosh on our outdoor plans for the evening, so I sat him down after setting the machine up. He used the knee lever and everything! Those buttons and pants have been waiting easily 2 months, and he's been wearing his ripped worn out pants. Today I notice he has a new looking pair of pants on.
I also managed to get the final and most important seal of approval for the machine.... The kitty seal of approval.

Check out your local thrift stores for Singer cam boxes. I have found numerous cams and attachments for my machines from local thrift stores for about $4-$5 a box. Be warned: The sewing machine addiction is closely followed by attachment, fabric, and sewing box addictions. :O
