In the same way as I described yesterday for working the zig-zag needed for satin stitch on a straight stitch machine (ie the material must move in relation to the needle rather than vice versa), they grip the material and move it. But I do agree that a hand made buttonhole is better that a machine made one. Doesn't mean I do them though, now I have my lovely Husqvarna.
