Sewing Buttons
Choosing a Sewing Machine
Once you decide to buy a sewing machine, take the time to carefully look over the products available on the market. There are many types of machines offered by various manufacturers. First evaluate your sewing needs; do you plan to sew occasionally and need only a relatively simple machine or do you plan to sew a great deal and undertake complicated sewing projects ? Of course , price will pay a role in any decisions you make.
Sewing machine sales centres provide detailed information and will explain and demonstrate the machines offered for sale. You should always try out the machines yourself. The machine should not be too complicated to operate; the buttons and levers should be well placed. Test the following:
Can the needle be easily threaded ?
Does the lamp light up the work surface properly ?
Does the machine move light and heavy fabric evenly ?
Does the machine stop immediately when you remove your foot from the pedal ?
You should also ask what extra attachments come with the machine and where it can be repaired. The instruction manual should be detailed, easily understandable, and have clear instructions.
Choose the sewing feet as carefully as the machine. There are feet attachments for Hemming, edging, knitting, darning, making buttonholes, and the overlock stitch, as well as for all kinds of decorative work, such as applique, and attaching sequins and beads.
Buy a sewing machine only once you are convinced the manufacturer is a serious one, their customer service is efficient, their machine is well thought-out and easy to use. For beginners, and for all those who want to learn a new sewing technique, taking a sewing course is an excellent idea. Some stores offer courses geared to a specific manufacturers machines.
Each manufacturer has developed its own sewing system and levers and buttons are differently located, so bear this in mind when comparing machines.
A good staring machine is a hobby or general-purpose machine
Easy to use, this type of machine offers many useful stitches, such as zig zag, strech and blind stitches. Many machines have a buttonhole maker and can be used to sew buttons onto garments. This machine type is an excellent beginners machuine. It is alos useful for simple alterations and repairs.

Anyone know of suppliers for huge lots of sewing buttons?
I'm trying to find suppliers of large lots of sewing/craft buttons at the best possible price. So far I've only been able to find places that sell 1-2lbs in a lot, and I'm looking for more like 20lbs. Lots of 5lbs and up would be great, especially if there are all-white or all-pearlized button lots. So far the best price I've been able to find is $68 for 20lbs buying in 1lb packages. Can be upcycled/recycled/factory seconds and can have brand names. I already keep an eye on eBay and similar sites and find little of use there. Anyone?
Have you tried Buttons Galore? I make earrings out of their grab bags. You can call or email them for prices on bulk buttons. I buy the Grandma Grab bags at $75.00 for a hundred lbs. I can send you white ones I have because I don't use them, The post office hase a large box that cost $12.50.
