Button Machines
Posted in Ribbons | No Comments »Button Machine: where is the best website to buy one online?
I am looking for a button machine that is a) easy to use; b) not terribly expensive; and c) that will give me the ability to make both fabric buttons and pinback buttons. I know that there are a lot of websites that sell button machines but does anyone have a specific experience with one that they can share? Thanks.
I had heard great things about American Button Machines from some friends who had purchased one of their systems, and I have to concur after my experience with them.
They have button machines for any size you want, although not all will make fabric buttons (I don't think). I got the 2.25" machine, which their website lists as being the most popular size. I know that it makes fabric buttons. The page for that machine also shows a bunch of other things that it does.

Price-wise, I think a lot of the online button machine sites are relatively similar. I was impressed though with the customer service and some of the free resources that ABM had available. It really helped me out because I didn't know that I was doing at first but it turned out to be really easy and less costly than I'd anticipated.
Hope this helps!
