Advantages: fast, good quality button holes
Disadvantages: doesnt fit on slant shaft machines & pointless on ones with zigzag
My lot are all very wierd sizes. OK mainly one child in particular.
My step daughter isnt fat.... far from it. She has a few problems. Anyway, store bought clothes wise, we have to buy her age 12 clothes, but shes got short legs and I always have to shorten them 3 - 4 inches then they look daft etc so I just make her clothes now as I can tailor them.
One of the most intrical things to need to do when tailoring clother is button holing. I hate button holing. Well I used too.
Memories of being 7 and my Nan sitting me infront of her Janome and using the setting was daunting... it also wasnt always foolproof.
When I got lucky on Ebay a couple of years back with a Singer 185k lowshank straight stitch, a friend of mine dragged me through ebay for the attachments (which I am now only missing one lol) and the best, and my most favouritest (is that a word?) attachment EVER is the Singer burronholer.
I simply open a plate, slip in a template... attch to the machine, put on the throughtplate cover, thread and within 30 seconds..... a proffessional strong buttonhole is sewn just waiting to have the center opened up.
I have used mine so many times now its silly. I just completed a pattern for a school skirt for my step daughter that specifically needed 2 button holes in the front.
Addicted? Yeah I need Singers annonymous desperately now....
The attachemnt cost me around $30 including postage to the UK.... if you see more templates... let me know!!!
Summary: oh the most perfect buttonholes to make that home made garment look pro
