Thank you for the wonderful tutorial on this contraption. You have saved hours of torment for those of us who don't have the manual. I have another American Singer buttonholer (160506) that has the templates you insert which makes the process fairly straightforward, but I haven't been game to try the British one till now. I had to chuckle at the "jiggery-pokery" comment. My father-in-law was fond of that expression! Nice to hear it still being uttered. 😅
Very nice. 👏. As an additional hint, I tape painter’s tape (blue) to the underside of the screw bracket of the feed dog cover. In this way, I don’t scratch the machine bed. 🥰
Thank you for the great instructional video, it really helped me out. I recently bought a Featherweight 222K, which came with the beige buttonholer with the orange knobs. I used it to make button holes on a vest I made for my daughter, and it eventually worked like a champ. This is due to your advice and display of trial and error, since the first buttonhole I made on the test fabric ended up with an amazing bird's nest on the bottom side. A few adjustments later, and I was off to the races, making some nice buttonholes. You have a very effective teaching style. Thanks again!
Always terrific videos! Just found a 1947 201k at an opshop in Auckland. Had have from the 50s in the garage but this one is in the mintest condition and came with attachments. Cannot wait to start playing with every gadget! Cheers
Thank you for a great video but I must point out that you are sewing way to fast. To sew a button hole with the vintage button holer they recommend sewing very slowly. I actually do it with a hand cranker. A better button hole is produced when performed slowly.
