Fabric monogrammed buttons

Custom monogrammed buttons are growing in popularity and its easier than ever for embroidery shops and monogrammed gift businesses to get in on the action .

Most button making machines are manufactured to produce pinback buttons using regular printer paper. Fabric is a completely different type of material than paper. It is important to have a button maker calibrated properly to accommodate for the challenges in making a button out of fabric material. Proper calibration ensures thefabric button machine will produce consistent quality buttons throughout its life.

 

With a little creativity and the right equipment , an embroidery business can expand their offering of fabric-covered buttons and sell a large variety of novelty buttons with a number of different applications. After cutting the fabric to a specific size with our Circle Cutter or Fabric Cutting Press, a number of different options such as the type we offer on our website www.AmericanButtonMachines.com, can be pressed onto the back of the button to make several different products.

 

A number of different attachments, such as a keychain, zipper pull or cell phone charm can turn any button into a personalized novelty item. This is especially useful for embroidery shops, which can make a personalized fabric button to accessorize any item . There are a number of backs that can be used with a fabric button. While some prefer a pinback to decorate a purse or to wear on clothing, a jacket, or a hat, others might want a more versatile back.

 

Snap-Inz shoe charms are used to turn a fabric button into a shoe charm to decorate Croc shoes. These charms can be glued to the back of a button and simply snapped into place through the holes on the Croc shoes. Another use for fabric buttons is as aponytail holder. This can be accomplished with a special button back that has an eyelet to run a ponytail elastic through. Other specialty kits can include button bracelets andnecklaces, as well as pacifier clips (paci-clip) and keychains.

 

Discerning customers are looking for the latest in quality button making options such as pocket mirrors, ponytail holders, keychains, necklaces, pinback buttons andrefrigerator magnets. Applying a personalized initial monogram to a fabric button is a great way to decorate a favorite item or add personalized flair to a book bag, jacket, purse , or a pair of flip flops.

 

For fear of facing a complicated button making process, many embroiderers have avoided moving into the button phase of their business.
