EFrom Mrs. H. A. M.
SiIUer Spring.
SeverAl days ago you had o re-
quest for comparisons on the dif-
ferent buttonhole attachments. III
have, had two kinds, the adjust |
able one and the one that has
several keys that make the various
size buttonholes. They are both
well known makes. The adjust Il
able kind, found, Is harder toll
attach 10 the sewing machine and Il
often the adjustment key will Il
loosen while Ia; motion and slip, Il
They hey type 81 very easy to use.
It, comes with four keys and AMI
extra four may beNpurchased with
it. These are necessary for max
ing small buttonhdaes. ] believe
you can ask for o demonstration
before making your purchase.
