This video covers two models of Singer buttonhole attachments for low shank Singer sewing machines.
Model numbers covered are 86662 and 86718.

If you've never used one of these attachments then this video has everything you need to get you up and running.

Before you start, make sure you have everything you need. You'll need the supplied cover plate, special mounting screw and a flat head screwdriver, and of course the attachment itself and a machine to fit it to.

The manual mentions models 15K, 128K, 99K, 221K and 222K Featherweight machines are compatible. I'm sure many other models are also compatible.

Details of subjects covered in the video are listed below in the index.
