Description
Description

What It Does
The Ruby Buttonholer RB-LC is designed to mechanize the creation of buttonholes on straight-stitch machines:
- Creates Buttonholes on Straight-Stitch Machines: While the sewing machine's needle moves only straight up and down, the buttonholer attachment uses a clever internal mechanism driven by the needle bar to move the fabric side-to-side and forward-and-backward, forming a zigzag stitch pattern
- Fully Automatic: The attachment automatically cycles through the steps needed to create one side of a buttonhole, the bartack (end stitching), the other side, and the final bartack
- Professional Results: Creates neat, professional-looking buttonholes with consistent stitch density and width
- Versatile: Perfect for garment construction, repairs, alterations, and craft projects
How to Use the Ruby Buttonholer RB-LC
The process for using the Ruby Buttonholer RB-LC is different from modern buttonhole feet because the attachment itself handles the fabric movement.
- Attach the Buttonholer: Remove the sewing machine's presser foot and attach the Ruby buttonholer to the presser bar using the presser foot thumb screw
- Engage the Fork: Ensure the attachment's operating lever (a fork-shaped arm) straddles the needle bar clamp. This is essential for the machine's up-and-down motion to power the attachment
- Cover or Drop Feed Dogs: The buttonholer moves the fabric, not the machine's feed dogs. You must drop your machine's feed dogs or cover them with the metal cover plate that comes with the attachment
- Set Machine to Straight Stitch: Set your sewing machine to a straight stitch with the needle in the center position. Do not use the machine's zigzag setting. The attachment creates the zigzag
- Adjust Settings: Set the desired buttonhole length using the selector on the attachment and choose the desired width and stitch density settings
- Position Fabric: Place your marked fabric under the buttonholer's clamp plate and lower the clamp
- Sew: Begin sewing at a moderate, steady speed. The attachment will automatically feed the fabric and execute the entire buttonhole pattern (both sides and both bartacks). It may require a little adjustment with the top tension for the best result
- Finish: Once the buttonhole is complete, lift the needle and the attachment, remove the fabric, and use a seam ripper to carefully cut the fabric open between the stitching lines, being careful not to snip the end stitches
Add professional buttonhole capability to your vintage straight-stitch machine. This brand new Ruby Buttonholer RB-LC delivers quality construction and reliable performance. Perfect for creating professional buttonholes on garments, repairs, alterations, and sewing projects.
