I’m late to the game but I picked up a vintage button gadget today and I can’t wait to try it out. Great video! Thank you for sharing all the helpful tips!

[@brigidscaldron]

I got one of these machines that came with a vintage sewing machine. I had no idea how it worked and this is amazing!

[@erinvanhandel]

Sweet! Have fun with it! 💙👍

Hi. Wonderful video. very well done. I am considering using my vintage buttonholer on my modern electronic sewing machine as you have done. Did you lower your feed dogs? What straight stitch length did you use? Thank you

[@erinvanhandel]

Hello! Yes, I lowered my feed dogs. The buttonholer moves the fabric for you. Because of this, you don't need to worry about stitch length. As long as your needle is going up and down - and not side to side - you should be fine. As always, test before you get serious on your project! Have fun, and thanks for watching. :D

The timing on an "electronic" machine is sometimes very different and a vintage buttonhole attachment may not work..
