I found a great website that covers the ins and outs of button sewing. If you’ve ever had questions or problems with buttons falling off, this is the place to go. The company is Ascolite and they sell button sewing machines. It’s very well illustrated, great photography etc. Be sure to see this comprehensive document (pdf). By the way, I couldn’t find this particular document on their site so you may need to use my link.
And speaking of button sewing machines, I have a shank button sewing Brother CB3-B917-1 for sale. Email me if interested.
Often described as the garment industry “blue book”, the most highly rated book in the business is guaranteed to get you off to a solid start or your money back. Many service providers require you read this before they’ll work with you. Learn more »
