@Kenora - holding buttons in place -
Try putting a piece of low tack tape across the top of the button, pierce the holes in the tape (a tapestry needle works well), tape the button in position on the fabric and then put it under the button foot.

Its been decades since I used my machine for buttons.

I like doing hand work. I had to learn how to do everything by hand before I was allowed to touch my Mom's machine.

Buttons and holes have never intimidated me. Instead, they are a sign that I'm about to be rewarded with a new garment. I find the process exciting rather than dreading it.
