  Embroidery on buttons
  Hi, I’m new and this is my first post. I’ve been making buttons for about 10 years, and my favorite buttons are the 3″ mirrors with fabric. I also have embroidery machines and have been toying with the idea of embroidering on the fabric and then putting making the mirrors. My question – do you use the mylars with this method (also the ponytail holders) or does it just depend on the thickness of the fabric? I normally embroider on the cutaway stabilizer and leave it as a backing for the fabric.

  Thanks,
  Brenda

  I want to make a 1” fabric covered button with your Black-n-Red Series button maker but I do not see that option available on your website. Do you make a 1” button machine for making 1” fabric covered buttons?
