For some reason, my Singer sewing machine, which can make buttonholes with a buttonhole attachment is not working. I set all the settings to buttonhole (the stitch 'length' lever, the stitch type knob, the lever set to 'auto', the needle position), I attached the buttonhole attachment to the foot, pulled the lever down and forward that's supposed to catch the tab on the buttonhole attachment, press the foot to the floor, and no buttonhole.
Instead I get great big gobs of stitching done in one place, or a side bar tacked on with a long line of close zigzags and none of the tab catching onto the lever. Aaaarghh! I've already broken 2 needles now.
Anybody have an idea what could possibly be wrong? Does something need tightening, are my dogs not catching?

Hello michelleL I was wondering if you had made buttonholes with this particular sm before, and they worked? Please, pardon me for being so 'basic', but I was wondering if this buttonhole attachment is the kind that requires a button being placed into the back of it and maybe that step was forgotten. I've gotten a similar 'look' when I've forgotten to put the button in the attachment-usually when I'm starting on the first buttonhole.

Hi,
I've used this buttonhole attachment once before, actually without a button in the back and making very careful measurements, and it worked fine. I had the manual at hand at that time. Now, that I've moved, I can't find the darn thing. This time, I noticed the space in the back for the button, which I then proceeded to place the button in....
It seems like the fabric is just not moving, and it's just sewing in the same spot over and over.

Is it possible that you accidently lowered the feed dogs?
That would keep your fabric from moving.

Yep. It sounds like you may have accidentally lowered your feeddogs which would account for the fabric not moving and sewing continually in one place.
If that's not it, and you have it set on the buttonhole setting and the rod is pulled down into place to catch the metal tab on the foot, then I can't think of any other thing it could be.

How do you lower the feed dogs? The feed dogs work when the machine is set to normal stitching, but when I set it to the buttonhole mode and pull the lever down and forward, it does look like the dogs move lower down... Is the fabric supposed to be moving when a buttonhole is being made?
So, I still haven't figured it out. I'm contemplating making the buttonholes manually with the zig zag stitching, which I really would rather not do. I wonder if my machine is needing a tune-up.

Yes, the fabric moves when you make a buttonhole, albiet slowly.
Your machine may need to be tuned up.
Keep us posted!!!

What kind of Singer is this? And what attachement are you using?
The two (one for a slant needle the other for a vertical needle, low shank machine) I have both have a metal plate you must place OVER the feed dogs/throat plate to keep the feed dogs from moving your fabric. The buttonhole attachment does all that moving of fabric for you. And, in the ones I've used, you don;t have to measure anything...there are a variety of cam/templates that limit the size and shape, you have to pick the right one and insert it in the buttonholer.
Also, is the attachment, um....attached correctly? you need to hook it onto the screw so that it lifts and lowers with the presser foot. And, make sure you have PLENTY of thread in your bobbin, because you're screwed it you run out, mid-buttonhole.
Let's see...what else? Is your bobbin thread pulled out of the way? And, I have to set my machines to a satin stitch (they're really old....no such thing as a buttonhole stitch)
The other thing I would check immediately on my machines would be if the bobbin area was clogged with felted fuzz. I've found mine to be really fussy with any attachment if there's fuzz/dust/crud under the needle area/around the bobbin. I'm also quite likely to misthread somewhere on the way to a not daily-used attachment--like missing that last wire loop--which is death to anything but a standard straight seam on my two old Singers.

One more thing worth checking--
Open up the buttonholer and make sure it's clean and that all the parts that should move, do move freely. The older Singer Professional buttonholers, do need to be cleaned, oiled at their moving parts and kept free of grit/dust, which they accumulate a lot of while they do their thing. Something might have seized inside the attachment. If there'a s lever on the side, move it back and forth to make sure it actually moves the the buttonholer smoothly along the gauge mechanism and back again in its whole circuit without sticking.
