My Singer 500A Slant-O-Matic, Rocketeer Sewing Machine
Hi there, After much trial and error I got both the Pink Jetsons' Buttonholer attachments and the Touch and Sew metal Professional Buttonholer to work.
Both made nice buttonholes. Whew! So many broken needles in the beginning. If you have a Singer 500A Slant-O-Matic Rocketeer sewing machine and you decide to purchase the Touch and Sew Professional Buttonholer, you need the kit to contain the General Purpose feed dog cover or it won't work. The Touch and Sew Singer Slant Professional Buttonholer should come in a box with the buttonholer attachment, The Professional Buttonhole Instructions pamphlet, the Touch and Sew feed dog cover plate, the General purpose feed dog cover, the screw to attach the General purpose feed dog cover, the larger attachment screw to attach the buttonholer unit and it should contain 20 templates for the buttonholer including the rare eyelet template. The one I purchased as a set did not include the instructions which can be downloaded free in PDF form and it did not include the General Purpose feed dog cover which is needed if you have a Singer 500A Slant-O-Matic Rocketeer sewing machine.
On the other hand, (included in the set with the Touch and Sew Slant Professional Buttonholer), was the Singer Touch and Sew Circular Stitcher. I screwed it into the bed of the Singer 500A sewing machine bed, used it and it worked right out of the box! The way the measurements work is that it measures in inches the distances or radius from the center of your circle as attached on the spindle needle to the outer edge of a circle you are making. In other words if you slide the slider and select number 1 it is one inch FROM the center of your circle - NOT a one inch circle. So you have to keep that in mind.
This attachment is going to work well for making bullet bras in conjunction with my concentric circles embroidery design for the smaller inner circles. Yay!
Thank you for reading 'til the end. Any questions or comments are welcome!
