The mini dresden is so cute! I need to make one of these for my Featherweight. Thanks for sharing!
Another very well done video on the eyelet cam in the buttonhole attachment. You explain everything clearly, and give a good option in case we are missing that cam. Thank you very much.
Dr Michael Elinski do you have any idea where I might be able to find the 2 screws that are missing for my vintage buttonholes? The one in the green box.
Linda Hofer, hello. I’m sorry, but I do not know where to find screws or missing parts for the button hole cam. If you can send me your email address, I’ll let you know if I find one. It’s easier to keep track of people by address, than by UA-cam videos, which I constantly loose. melinski@optimum.net. Thanks.
So glad i found the buttonhile instructions. Thanks
Do you have the pattern for that mini Dresden spool pin plate?
I got this pattern and I couldn't do it.😭 I wanted one so bad, but I ordered the crochet ones and they are beautiful!!!!
Isn’t there a video to make that cute spindle holder
Would it not make more sense to iron on interfacing to the whole strip rather than trying to center a small piece to back of fabric?
Featherweight Shop, very clear explanation to that question. Thanks. You are all very professional at your shop.
Hi .. I cannot find part 1 of the mini Dresden spool pin plate video … thank you.
It's part 1 of the Buttonholer 😉
What is the stripper foot?🤔
How is the strength of the stich at top and bottom of the hole which is side to side vs an eylet attathment the you feed circularly by hand and the stich is center to out?
I used to make eyelet holes in my toddler's clothes to allow for their rapid growth. Used this exact same machine and regular old Coats and Clarks dual-duty size 50 thread. Never had one rip out and my kids gave them a workout. If that's not enough, probably anything short of a metal eyelet isn't going to fulfill your needs?
Where do I find that round eyelet clear round template?
Featherweight Shop cannot find it. Can you please post a link?
Where can I find part 1 video tutorial?
Hello and thank you for asking! On the Featherweight Schoolhouse of our website as well as our UA-cam Channel you will find both Part 1 and Part 2 of this video series.

I noticed at the 2:27 minute mark of your video that the foot plate for the button holer is removed... WHY?
Because it's a 222 model (feed dogs drop) and it's only needed on that model when the fabric is very thin.
Will the fit a 31-15?
That's a high-shank machine. I don't know whether the high-to-low shank adapter (easy to find at any sewing shop or Amazon) will make it work or not. My experience with industrial machines is non-existent.
Given that these adapters only cost a few dollars, it is probably easier to just buy one, borrow such a buttonholer (or get at a thrift store, they cost next to nothing, so many were made) and just try it.
Our local sewing shop, unfortunately, is run by purists who always say 'no' to anything which doesn't involve buying one of their latest and greatest super expensive machines.
How do you get the vintage Singer machines to accommodate cones of thread? Will your little Dresden plate assist with holding the cone in place?
Da Mama, hello. Thread on cones are cross wound and come off the cone if pulled vertically, as it was intended. If you are using a cone, it might be easier to secure it on a separate spool/cone holder in back and slightly to the right of the center of the Featherweight. Then you could proceed to thread the cone thread as usual. Since cone thread draws off the cone vertically, a separate stand gives better results, in general, for all machines. Spools are wound around differently, so the spool pin works perfectly with threads wound this way. I hope I correctly understood your question.
Thank you for your threading analysis. Don't bother trying to fit the cone on top of the machine, put it on a separate cone holder. That should have been obvious. Since some machines are specific on whether the spool is installed clockwise or counter clockwise, I was concerned the spool stand would have a greater impact on tension. Vintage machines while impact resistant, seem picky in some ways. Thanks again.
Da Mama, you’re welcome. I hope I really was helpful. I saw you asked a question a little while ago, and no one responded, so I thought I’d try to help. I know what it’s like when I’m waiting for a response. Have a good weekend.
