The Button Makers Guide.
My personal button making guide. A little help for people thinking about getting a button maker or those just sniffing around wanting to know a little more.
I just finished the guide and I will clearly have to keep working on it but I hope it helps people interested in getting started. I'm hoping questions I get on this blog will help me tailor it to the needs of those looking around. I bought my first button maker maybe almost 10 years ago. It's a 1" It still works and it has probably clocked up 100,000 buttons. I now have 30 or so machines from starter kits to professional electronic button makers. I think I really have tried them all.

Hi
Usually the model # represents the size for Tecre button Makers.
is 1" is 1-1/2"so #275 should mean 2-3/4" but Tecre does not make that size. It is in fact a 2-3/8" machine and you’re right 2-1/4" do not fit. You need to order 2-3/8" button parts or 2-1/4" BAM buttons. BAM is for badgeaminit but OUCH! don’t buy them there, too expensive.
Hi Button Guy
I have a #275 Button Maker from Tecre but I cannot find button parts for this machine anywhere. I have tried 2-1/4" button parts and they are only slightly too small but they do not work. Any ideas?
