Because I'm still pissed

I'm not over last night's mess of a button hole. Truth be told, I'm not over having to put hooks on the last pair of pants I did or giving up on bar tacks on the pair before. So I sat down tonight and tried all the patterns. Total of 12, including eyelet.

All patterns were set up the same except the last 3 that have some pre-set restrictions. I lined them all up with a little green strip in the fabric and the last hole against foot. My machine has a one-step button hole with the foot you put a button in to set the size. I used a pretty good size button to get a large enough sample.

Then I pretty much just let her do her thing while I sucked my thumb where I stuck the needle in it. I started with pattern #17 on the right and moved through to #28 (eyelet) at the right. There must be a little Asian in me after all? Here are my abysmal results. I mean totally unusable with only a couple of exceptions. You don't even have to click on this to see how bad some of them are. Starting with #19, with a rounded end, they're garbage. I could probably use #26, and it's a way cool pattern actually - you should click just to see that one. And the mess of the eyelet? It only, sort of, made 1/2 the pattern. (that part's new, usually it does a crappy unclosed circle, not a misshapen comma).
I've tried stabilizing, different thread, different bobbin, multiple/single/sandwiched layers. I've sworn, cried, stomped and pouted. All to no avail. I sometime use my old Singer and it's attachments, but I don't have very many templates, so choices are limited.

And yes, all this has convinced me to take it to the dealer. This is not acceptable and they need to make it right. I'm out of town this weekend, but it's on the calendar for next weekend. And thank you all for listening. Feel free to report your button hole woes - or others, for that matter. Misery loves company, after all. Did I mention I have bronchitis?
