Will a Greist or Singer Buttonholer work with your sewing machine?
Greist/ Singer buttonholers are attachments for sewing machines that make buttonholes based on templates. There are a variety of buttonholers (see link at bottom).First, pay attention to whether the foot is for verticalor slant-shank machines. Also, if your machine does not create a zig-zag stitch you must use one for straight-stitch only machines. If you machine does have zig-zag capabilities, you may be able to use either type. Most attachments originally came with a feed-dog cover. If you can drop the feed dogs, you should not need the feed-dog cover.While these attachments can fit a variety of machines, including modern machines, they might not fit or work properly.This is a list of known machines and which type of buttonholer will work.* XR-65t: Straight stich - yes.=== === === === * Memorycraft 1000/1001: Griest high shank doesn't work.Pfaff* 261 (low shank): Singer professional buttonholer fits and works, but the action of the pfaff seems to be too wide and spreads out the stain stitches far too much.* 2014: No, walking foot gets in the way.* Designer I: Straight stitch works as long as the calw is large enough. * Scandinavia 200: Singer professional for zig-zag works.

How to Select a Sewing Machine for a Child?
Sewing is a terrific hobby that also serves a practical purpose. Encouraging children to learn to sew ensures that they will always be able to do simple mending and even create clothing and other items from fabric. While sewing by hand is great for some projects, having a working knowledge of sewing by machine opens up many more possibilities. But not just any sewing machine is appropriate for a child to use. To properly select a sewing machine for a child, follow these steps:1) Establish the Purpose of the Sewing Machine – The first step in selecting a sewing machine for a child is to establish the purpose of the sewing machine. Will it be used only at home or does the machine need to be easily portable to be taken elsewhere, such as a sewing class or 4-H sewing camp?2) Research Sewing Machine Options Online – There are numerous types and models available. Take the time to research various options online before shopping for a sewing machine. Narrow the choices down to just a few basic models that have at least reverse and zigzag stitch capability. Avoid those with multiple stitch functions or other complex features. Also, steer clear of toy or "kiddie" machines.3) Visit a Local Dealer for an In-store Demo – Once a few basic models of interest are identified, visit the dealer and test each model. Be aware of ease of use, especially in threading the machine and winding or changing the bobbin. If the machine is portable, consider size, weight and the type of carrying case. A carrying case that attaches securely to the machine and has a convenient handle is a must for travel. For machines that will sit stationary in the home, make sure that a dust cover comes with the machine or plan a homemade cover as the first sewing project.4) Train the Child – Once the machine has been purchased, ensure that the child understands how it works and all necessary safety precautions. Go over each feature thoroughly and supervise the child at all times until total mastery of the machine has been achieved and demonstrated under a variety of circumstances.
