I also have plenty of mechanical machines, and while they all produce a
decent buttonhole, none are quite up to the standard of the Lily. The
other thing I really like about it is the 26 needle positions, allowing
me a precision with things like top stitching and concealed zips that is
hard to achieve by other means.



On the other hand, the Pfaff 1475, which is otherwise a wonderful
machine, makes horrible buttonholes.

And my Pfaff 2054 makes excellent BHs. Usually quite small ones for doll
outfits. I have found that it pays to stabilise the material, regardless of
the material type.
