The second one is in a Singer case, has a manual distributed by Singer, a 1956 copyright, but the brand name on the buttonholer & manual is Griest. It's price is $15.00.

    What I'm wondering is if either one of these will work for my Featherweight and/or 15-91? If yes, which one would you get?

    Anyone know anything about Singer Buttonholers????
    Griest made great attachments. I have both buttonholers and couldn't tell ya which one is better - they are both great. If they are cheap enough why not get them both, that way you can test them out and let us know what you think?

    Wow, I am impressed! I started with this qroup right after the shop was formed, I can't imagine starting now and trying to read all 1088 pages!

    Wow! Is that a 401? I can't quite read the model number -- congratulations, great machine!

    Yes it is a 401A. Thanks, I could kick myself for not learning to sew years ago! Both my great aunt and my grandmother were excellent seamstresses! (my grandmother is 94!)

    Congratulations! Took me a few weeks to get halfway through and just gave up. Too many different conversations to try and keep track of.

    So now the question is....do you remember any of it?

    IT's me, who has been playing too much being on the Board. And, I need to slow down and get stuff done.

    Take care. You know we all love it when you are able to show up. Seems like you have had several plates FULL, of late. May the Lord turn things around for you and your loved ones, soon. :-D
    I know you kidding, its just I have been up to my armpits in work. Every time I turn around I have something to work on or a catastrophe to deal with. Its getting to the point that I am so tired that all I do is answer my PM's and go to bed. I have quite a few of my machines I have not even touched because of everything else that I have to do. I just put them in the garage and eventually I will get to them. I think I have 4 or 5 treadles in the 1800's that are waiting for me to refurbish and put into my collection.

    But I am not complaining yet, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!
