Fixing to go look at a Vintage Singer Need a reliable buttonhole machine

There are even a few tutorials on youtube. I just found one in a classified ad that I'm fixing to go look at, a Singer #15-91. From the pictures, it's a beautiful, non-scratched up vintage 1950 machine, with cabinet. I have been invited to go check it out. If my husband can have a massive gun collection, shouldn't I get one more sewing machine? I don't have that many....could be worse, I used to have that money pit hobby known as "horses." And my sewing machines have never broken any of my bones.

After switching and swapping through all the buttonholers I prefer a professional attachment on a zig zag, in my case, a straight shank Pro on a Stylist. But you should buy the 15-91 if it's nice. And show us a photo once you have it, there's a rather large thread here of machines that follow people home.

Singer manufactured guns at some point in history... ------ Don't confuse accessibility with ease; just because anybody can pick up a needle and thread doesn't mean sewing quality garments is easy.

Not a scratch, bought it from an old timer singer repairman that now sells older models that he cleans up and services. It's in a gorgeous cabinet with matching stool and includes the buttonholer and other attachments. It works like brand new and looks it, too. I'll get a picture up somewhere so y'all can see it. It's an interesting contrast with all my other machines, I need to do a video.
