I do like the sound of auto-threading. And buttonholes! I do my buttonholes by hand, which is a complete pain and never looks as neat as machine stitched (and results in me making things with toggles and hooks because anything to avoid a buttonhole!)

I'm sure you'll get there eventually, even if it has to be very slowly. At least you have a unicorn to put an eye-bead into, so you're already achieving things :)
