Buttonholes I am having a impossible time making buttonholes on my machine. I put the attachment on and it stitches in the same place and eventually is knotting up. No buttonhole. What am I doing wrong?

First be sure to follow the steps described in the manual for attaching the buttonholer.

Second, check that the buttonhole lever is pushed because it returns to it's unpushed state after a buttonhole is completed and therefore it will stitch in the same spot.

Also, try adjusting the stitch length. I've found that I can't make buttonholes while on the satin stich setting ( that little rectangle) but if I move it just a bit towards 1 it will manage to make the right stitches.
