Yes, but the letters are 3/8" high.... they are good for pockets or cuffs. There is another monogrammer available and I thought someone was going to post some pics of the larger letters. (there was another thread recently that discussed this.. you might find it in a search for monogrammer.)

Here's what mine looked like using that same monogrammer.

Here's the link to the previous thread, there's more info on what you need to look for when purchasing.

thanks loti. both the links are very helpful. this is research for another night. maybe i have the feed cover plate since the machine included a buttonhole attachment, in an untouched, like new box. amazing.

thanks again.

And it's the one that fits the rocketeer? If so that's great!!
I have not tried the deluxe monogrammer, I would love to find one to fit my Rocketeer.

i only assume that it isthe right buttonholer b/c it came with the machine. gal told me it was the right one. looks as if it has never been used.

Which buttonholer did you end up getting? I ask because the buttonholer that came with my Rocketeer actually isn't for a slant shank and doesn't work with it..... which kind of makes sense because the buttonholer looked unreasonably good compared to the machine.

One for a slant shank (I'm not trying to make you nervous), it could very well be that you have one that works. The only one I have is the professional buttonholer part no. 102577 with the throat plate 161825.

However I've been told that the buttonholer that comes in the pink torpedo case works as well.
