Yes, some fabrics can be pressed and made into a button. Usually thin fabrics work best. We have made buttons with the plastic cover covering the fabric and we have made fabric buttons without the plastic cover using our machines. We do not have a recomendation of which fabrics are guarnteed to work. If you want you can mail us a swatch of fabric you plan on using and we can tell you if it will work in our machines.

On your button machine locate the die where you insert the shell. Measure the portion of the die as shown in the picture. Manufacturers sometimes create a button machine so that only their parts work in it. Our parts that we sell may not work in your machine even if the size seems correct. If you know the size of your machine but you do not know the manufacturer, contact us and we can send you some sample parts to see if they indeed fit your machine.
