In patent to Sleiner, June 19, 1860, the needle and shuttle operate as in an ordinary machine, but after the shuttle has passed through the loop of needle-thread, a hook catches its thread and passes it in the form of a loop up through the button-hole slit and spreads it in the path of, and the needle enters it at its next descent.

Other methods of working button-holes have been attempted, but not found practicable. Button-hole cutter. Button-hole shears. Button-lathe. Button-riveting press. Button-hole shears. A scissors
