Hi, I had the same problem, but I finally found my manual. The solution is that you have to use the presser foot for buttonholes but the most important part is that you have to lower the buttonholer lever. It is located right next to the needle to the left. It is a metal lever with a little square white plastic end. You need to pull that down in order the the buttonhole feature to work. My button was too big for the buttonhole presser foot, so I had to use the regular presser foot, but hit the buttonhole lever with my had to make it go up or down.

Just pull down on the original metal foot. It will snap off and then you can snap on the button hole foot. Good luck!

I am assuming that you have marked where you want the button hole to be. Here is the link to the manual for the 5050.

SOURCE: I can''t remember the steps

you can download a manual for the Activa 145 here, buttonholing steps would probably be very similar for your model

It says you sew one bar, then press the reverse button and the automatic function then sews the bar tacs, other side, bar tack and finishes.

SOURCE: Can I use a 1-step button hole foot on a brother LS14 sewing machine?

It would probably be easiest and fastest to contact your local Brother dealer. If your machine can use the unit, you can probably buy it directly from the dealer.
