Will a Greist or Singer Buttonholer work with your sewing machine?

Answer 1

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.
