I'd love to see more of the feet and accessories for this machine. I'm almost done with the restoration of my grandmother's 27 and have started on my own accessory collection! I have a Greist buttonholer from the 1960s that I got from my MIL and now I'm really excited to try to see how it works on the 27. I also had no idea how to work that intimidating thing but now I think I can master it!
It did take a little fiddling to figure mine out too, so I know how you feel! The ones from the 1960’s should function similarly, even if they look a little different. Also, the cams for the Greist and the Singer buttonholers are supposed to be interchangeable too. 😊
The button hole attachments are amazing! They make the prettiest buttonholes! The Eyelet cam is hard to find, but if you can get one for a decent price it’s good to have. Most of my sewing is for historical recreation so eyelets are a must for me.
I have the same machine just in a different cabinet, and have been putting off the restoration - really it just needs cleaned and polished. Only one of my uh... 9... machines will do buttonholes and it's not too pretty 😅 I see these buttonholers EVERYWHERE and was afraid to buy one because I didn't know how to tell if it'd work for any particular machine. Also had no idea they had eyelet cams too!
The eyelet cams are hard to find, so they can be expensive. If you have access to a 3D printer, you may be able to print a plastic one. A friend of mine mentioned he’s found a pattern for his printer for an eyelet cam.
I've finally had the guts to try my vintage buttonholers. Pretty simple and beautiful buttonholes right away. I am sold!
@@elizabethw1142 oh fantastic! They really do make the most beautiful buttonholes!!
Beautiful!! I love the way the vintage machines work and how they were made to last.

پاکستان میں کہںاں سے ملے گا
I’m not sure where to find these sorts of things in Pakistan; I’m in the US. I either find items at antique or second hand stores, and on EBay.
