The 1″ is a little trickier to use with fabric, or so I thought.
I saw this guy on a blog make a button using felt.
Then I was looking over on ebay for fabric buttons and saw that this person is making jewelry with 1″ fabric buttons. I was thinking maybe I was wrong, but you can check it out yourself.
If you get the 1″ Button Maker to make fabric buttons I would suggest using different types to see which works better. If one side is pulling more on one side, I would put a little adhesive (glue) on the back of the fabric so it stays in place during both stages. I have also tried putting tape on the back of the fabric so it doesn’t stretch.
OH, I almost forgot!! If you are planing on using fabric, I would also suggest cutting out the circles with
scissors or a rotary cutter. It’s really difficult to slide fabric into the graphic punch. And of course,
I have seen people place tape on the ends that helps pull the fabric through. It just seems like you can
get more out of the fabric if you can center it in the template and cut it out with the rotary cutter.

Do you know if there’s any way I can make a ponytail holder with either a 1″ or a 1-1/4″ machine?
