HOW TO USE THE BUTTONHOLE ATTACHMENT

I HAVE A SINGER SIMPLE MACHINE. IT HAS THE BUTTONHOLE ATTACHMENT. I DO
NOT KNOW HOW TO USE IT. I PUT THE BUTTON IN THE ATTACHMENT. I PULLED
THE LITTLE ROD DOWN. WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS WHERE DO I PLACE THE LITTLE
ROD THAT PULLS DOWN? I MADE A BUTTON HOLE BUT I CAN'T REPEAT IT. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID. I CAN GET IT TO MAKE ONE SIDE OF THE BUTTON
HOLE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT MAKES IT GO BACK TO MAKE THE OTHER SIDE.

WHAT DO I DO?

I'm afraid I can't answer your question... however, in case you were not
aware -- typing in all capital letters is like shouting at people. In net
language, it is generally avoided unless used sporadically for emphasis. It
is also much more difficult to read.

I do hope someone can help you with your question. I strictly sew quilts...
so have never done a buttonhole.

Wish I could help, but the only buttonholer I ever used worked fine and I
didn't have to do anything. Maybe someone with more expertise will answer
this one.

Many Singer sewing machines are fairly logical. The answer is probably
something very reasonable such as sewing one side of the buttonhole and then
flipping the SM to 'reverse'. If you haven't figured it out by trial and
testing, check over at rec.crafts.textiles.sewing and see if they can help.
Please don't yell at them; they are such nice people. Polly

Do a google search on how to make a buttonhole. I'm sure that you will find
oodles of information.
