Scope note:

Small tools, typically operated by hand or as an attachment to sewing machine foot peddles, designed to ensure regular spacing and sizing of manually-applied buttons onto sewn textile materials. These tools are marked with a set of templates and size labels, allowing the user to accurately measure both the distance between and size of the buttonholes according to desired specifications.
