Today my Greist buttonholer arrived. It comes with five templates, a thingy to cover the feed dogs so that only the buttonholer will move the fabric, and a sense of simplicity and elegance.

It's like a walking foot: when the shaft for the presser foot is screwed in place, the lever will fit over the screw that holds the needle in place, and the movement of the needle will operate the buttonholer mechanism. If kept oiled and free of rust, it will last forever.

Close up of the needle going through the metal plate covering the little toothy bits which usually feed the fabric through one stitch-length at a time.
Difficult to make out but it's the parts of the buttonholer which attach to the sewing machine, lined up so that you can sort of see where things go
Five buttonhole templates: they are metal shapes with indented teeth for a cog to move along. Each template produces a different length of buttonhole.


The strangest presser foot accessories that came with my Singer 201K. #Sewing #SewingMachine
Part number 35931, which is an adjustable hemmer which might be more complicated to use than it is labour saving, I'm not sure
Part number 36583 is a tuck marker. It has a lot of adjustable bits, but I really don't understand it.
Part number 35932 is a quilting foot and part number 121547 is an upside-down underbraider, which I also don't understand but you use it with the quilting foot.


My new #SewingMachine came with this box of ironmongery
A Singer branded cardboard box, open, behind an array of sewing machine accessories including needles, screwdrivers, presser feet, and unidentifiable twisty bits of stuff


The case of my 1940 Singer 201K handcranked sewing machine. The way the storage and case works is so, so simple and clever. #SewingMachine #Sewing
Close up of a laughably simple metal key tied with string to the handle of the bentwood case.
A gleaming wooden bentwood case for a Singer sewing machine, sitting on a very crowded desk, with a plastic Janome sewing machine on its left. Scissors and thread are on a pegboard on the back right.
The beautifully arched end of the case with the key in a keyhole near the bottom
Looking inside the bentwood case, you can see the black metal strap securing the handle from the underside, the tiny table flap secured to the inside of the case, and two wire frames for holding accessories in storage.
