Button-Hole Sewing Machine Two Threads
Our invention relates to that class of sewing machines in which a zigzag stitch is formed by imparting to the material being sewed, a lateral reciprocating movement in addition to its usual feed-movement. Its object is so to regulate the length of the loop of the needle-thread as, alternately, to slacken and tighten the thread, to prevent the needle from being deflected by the vibration of the cloth; to which ends, the invention herein claimed, consists in a novel method of combining, with a sewing machine, mechanism, arranged below the cloth-plate, to draw of a sufficient quantity of needle-thread to allow for the vibrations of the cloth and, as the needle is about to enter the cloth, to slacken the thread, to prevent it from drawing the needle aside. The accompanying drawings make part of this specification and show our invention as adapted to a Wheeler & Wilson machine and also to a machine for making button-holes, for which Letters Patent US 55.865, June 26, 1866 and Letters Patent US 56.224, July 10, 1866 were granted to us.

US 93.063 Job A. Davis
Gathering Attachment for Sewing Machine
The main object of my improvements in gatherers is to adapt them for use on machines in which a needle-feed is used and that which I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings is arranged for the use upon the machine known in the market as the "Davis' machine" and in which the needle-feed is employed. In my device no “separator” is employed at the point, where the feed takes place, either between the feeding device and one piece of cloth, or between the two pieces of cloth and the piece of cloth to be gathered and stitched to the piece which is not gathered is the under one of the two pieces.

US 94.212 Edmund Howard & William H. Jackson
Attachment for Making a Button-Hole Stitch
Our invention relates to certain improvements on an attachment for sewing machines for which Letters Patent US 69.671, dated October 8, 1867, were granted to us and of that class known as the "shuttle-machines", in which two threads are employed to form the stitch. The object of the attachment for which these Letters Patent were granted was to produce a perfect button-hole stitch, similar in its general characteristics to that produced by hand-sewing.

US 95.320 William Carpenter
Button-Hole Attachment for Sewing Machine
My invention is intended particularly as an improvement upon the “Singer sewing machine” and consists in giving to the needle a reciprocating motion on the needle-bar, as well as a vertical motion with said needle-bar, where by I am enabled to make button-holes, over seam, embroider, &c. This I accomplish by attaching the needle to a sliding bar, which bar moves on another bar, that is secured to the lower end of the needle-bar, said sliding bar, to which the needle is attached, obtaining its reciprocating motion from a vibrating finger mounted upon an adjustable plate, attached to the presser-foot or its attachments.

US 97.856 Samuel J. Baird
Button-Hole Sewing Machine
The object of my invention is to feed the cloth to the needle of any sewing machine in such a way that the stitches made by the machine, whether loop or lock, single or double chain stitch, shall be laid on each edge and the ends of the button-hole in a series parallel to each other and at right angles to the button-hole, so as to form the requisite binding for it. What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. The screw having the eccentric thereon, in combination with the cloth-clamp and oscillating plate, as and for the purposes described.
2. The cloth-clamp, the rest, the spring and presser in combination, substantially as and for the purposes described.
3. The cloth-clamp and its operating screw, in combination with the double rack, the ratchet and cog-wheels, substantially as and for the purposes described.
4. The connecting-plate, the oscillating plate and the lever and cam in combination, substantially as and for the purposes described.
5. The cam V and carrier T, in combination with the sliding ratchet, for changing its position and changing the movement of the clamp, substantially as described.
