I'm not really a fan of the covers, sooner or later they will slip so you will bust the needle. I tried out the Greist buttonholer on the old 28K - the one I passed on a few weeks ago - and I just did a bit of dentistry and took the teeth out altogether. But then I switched from making clothes to quilts so it all got neglected a bit.<br /><br />I realised the 201K can drop the dogs but haven't done it yet. I've been using the 15K hand machine to test this buttonholer. The dogs don't drop so I have set the stitch length to zero. I'll let you see the results some time next week!<br /><br />Love,<br />MuvMuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-89785801249450478272013-04-27T13:54:08.100+01:002013-04-27T13:54:08.100+01:00Hello Muv

Does it have a feed dog cover with it? I expect you know how to drop the dogs on the 201 anyway if you need to.<br /><br />Hugs<br />GGavin Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737186300519027548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-72248867778496100782013-04-27T10:29:34.617+01:002013-04-27T10:29:34.617+01:00Good morning Clare!

The fact that mine is anonymous suggests ALFA might have contracted out to another manufacturer. Anyway, in the long run, who cares as long as the gadget works!<br /><br />Love,<br />MuvMuvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734374133479479218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-56576307783906171402013-04-27T10:20:21.710+01:002013-04-27T10:20:21.710+01:00Hi Muv, I have this exact same buttonholer.
