I get asked all the time how we cut so many fabric circles for our buttons. People think that is the most tedious and time-consuming part of button making.
Well, the answer is, for any button that needs print placement in the middle of the button, the fabric needs to be hand cut after tracing around our fabric templates using the inner circle to line up the print...there is no easier way.......and the fabulous Patricia does an awesome job hand cutting each fabric circles we sell!!
The good news however, is when we cut spots, stripes, floral patterns or any fabric that does not need specific prints in the middle of the button, we use a die cutting machine that cuts 6 layers of fabric at a time!! Yes!! Very handy and quick to use.
The die has 4 different size circles on it so cuts all from once piece and because it can cut layers of fabric that means 24 circles in one hit!! The size of the circles correspond with our buttons perfectly..25, 37, 50 and 62mm diameter.
If you would like to purchase one of these machines with the die, they retail for $210.00 together (plus postage)
(please note this machine can be used with other scrapbooking dies so is not just limited to fabric circles)
VERY LIMITED STOCK ONLY, FIRST IN, BEST DRESSED...
