I tried an eyelet plate and found it nearly impossible to use on
large garments like dresses with big skirts, because of having to
spin the fabric around it. They didn't want to fit through the (mind
blip, whatever the name is for that space between the needle part and
the body of the machine) How do you handle that?

I'm thinking of buying a 1950's sewing machine with a buttonholer

I'm wondering, has anyone used them for lacing eyelets on period
corsets and bodices?
An eyelet plate will serve you better. The "brick" buttonhole foot
still only does zig-zag, so you don't get the radial stitching of a
true eyelet.
