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?
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.
