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) I believe it's called the harp. Laurensa ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com

Wow, I've never heard of an eyelet plate before!!! I've found a video on in and it looks great! My sewing machine has a pre-programmed eyelet, but it's too small and weak. It seems only Pfaff and Husqvarna have these plates... does Janome have it, too??? I have a 6600P. Zuzana

I'm thinking of buying a 1950's sewing machine with a buttonholer attachment, the kind that uses templates to make different size buttons. Some of them have templates that make round eyelets, and I'm wondering, has anyone used them for lacing eyelets on period corsets and bodices? I

I've used my Viking with an eyelet plate to do lacing holes on a pourpoint for holding armor (1380ish); it's worked fairly well though a few of the holes eventually ripped with use. Still, the holes didn't rip faster than the garment wore out... Guenievre On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 7:44 PM,
