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.
