I got this as part of a job lot of bits but it’s a damaged atomic pink Jetsons buttonholer. There are 2 areas of damage 1 is the end of the box has fallen off, and the other is the gold on the device doesn’t stay stuck down. Neither of these issues impact its ability to deliver a buttonhole. They just make it less gorgeous.
Note this is for a Singer Slant Shank sewing machine. Probably not a 300 series, but 400 series + should be fine and if in doubt check or ask me.
It comes with,
Feed dog cover, manual, 2 screws, the device and 5 templates
5/8 straight
1 1/16 straight
1 1/6 keyhole
13/16 straight
3/8 straight
Helen sells these in good condition for 40, I’m thinking £12 inc PnP for this one because of its condition.
I’m also working on one in lovely condition this evening that I’ll post later.

Is the buttonholer in full working order, Roger? Have you used it with your machines and if so, which ones?
-
Hi Skout,
I always check the motion, but more than happy to run a test tomorrow. I’ll run it on the 500.
Hope that’s ok,
R.

Hi Skout,
As requested here’s a sample, I did it on an old formal shirt cuff.
I did 2 runs, 1st on 1 and the second on 2 with a keyhole template. And it was on my 500a with both tensions set to 3.
Let me know what you think.

You didn't install the plate. Does it fit?
-
Should do, but you really don’t need it if the dogs can be dropped or the plate raised. I don’t use the plates because I’ve had them damage the finish on my machines before and that made me sad!
Most slant shanks from the 401 onwards had either a plate raise or you could drop the dogs.

I'll take it, please PM me for payment instructions etc.

Arrived OK thanks, I shall have fun with it :D

I'm glad to hear it arrived safely!
Enjoy!
