Using a Vintage Buttonhole Attachment
I used to avoid buttonholes on my modern sewing machine, but my Kenmore from the 1970s has a delightful attachment that makes lovely buttonholes of uniform size with ease.

First I set up the machine according to the manual:

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdcB9qdp6UKfEEemyjEH1iUoXB6Ar1nuZi7kcYgLbPPtE/1748306550221.jpg) The attachment screws into a small hole in the back of the machine bed.

![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRYqpLAFy4wYYKxFjCCnBZSVJtEBC5g36QAGijomCRLNY/1748306659409.jpg) Stitch width is set between 1 and 2. Feed dogs are down, so stitch length is controlled by the movement of the attachment, not the feed dogs.

The front of the attachment snaps over a tiny gear on the buttonhole plate which replaces the regular bobbin cover plate.

>**Our move?**  
🔹 **Unite voices**: Use #bilpcoin or #bpc to highlight censorship & demand accountability.  
🔹 **Document abuse**: Share evidence of unfair downvotes, self-voting scams, and double standards.  
🔹 **Push for reform**: Advocate for transparent governance, vote caps, and community-driven rules.  

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.

My mother had an old black Singer sewing machine, which I used when I learned to sew. I don't know how old it was, but it was already old in the 1970s. It, too, was easy to use and made uniform buttonholes. I miss it.

Those old mechanical machines and their attachments are fabulous. Many of us prefer our heavy metal machines with no computers to fail. !BBH
