Button holes?

Hi all,

I need to make some button holes ( vertical slit that is seen around the edges) in some window covers… I have a vague memory of there being a specific foot for the sewing machine to do this…

3 questions:

  1. is this a thing?
  2. Does the makerspace machine have one?
  3. are they horrendously complicated to use?

Thank you!

1)Yes
2)Yes
3)No, but they can occasionally go mad and make forbidden holes with infinite sides / Eldrich horrors so it’s worth doing a few test goes before you do it on anything precious.

I did button holes with the Janome machine we have. I found the manual pretty straightforward to follow for it, just make sure to use the right foot!

Also, the foot for the janome is in a compartment on the front of the machine
