Maintaining the Singer Buttonhole Attachment Models 86662 and 86718
In Stitches Sewing Machines & Overlockers
If your Singer buttonhole attachment is not working well or you'd just like to give it some TLC, then this video shows you how to care for your unit.
I show how to remove the cover to get right into the areas that need lubricating. You'll also be able to see how the attachment works as I operate the unit with the cover off.
You'll need sewing machine oil at the very least. Recommended - small flat head screwdriver, grease and a cleaning rag.
