Q:Hello Buttonmakers,
I have the Tecre 3.5” photo button maker (purchased from you during your days in Seattle). I need a few pin back button sets for a retirement party where three people are retiring. I never make pin back buttons in that size, and I really don’t want 250 sets as I only do coasters and mirrors. Is there any way I can purchase around 5-10 3.5” pinback button sets? I’m happy to pay $5-10 plus shipping if so. I know that’s not the normal order size—but I’d really appreciate it. Please let me know. (I’m in the Seattle area).
Thank you,
Christel

Q:I placed an order for 2.5" samples, but I would also like to get 2" and 2-1/4" if possible. Others have ordered supplies in the past that did not work. I was happy to see that you have samples to try so we can see what really will work for our maker.

Q:Will these 1 1/4 parts fit a badge minit machine
Asked by: Cindy
- 2/17/2025
A: The 32mm size fits Badge a Minit 1-1/4 inch. Our standard 1.25 inch American size supplies have mylar that is just a little bit too small for BAM machines. But the shells and pinned backs are the correct size.
32mm is the size you want for BAM.

Q:I just received my 80 x53 mm magnet maker. I have a supply of the metric sets but I found you ladies and would rather support you. I purchased some of your 2x3 flat backs and they work perfectly. Exact same size. I’d like to try a sample2x3 set if possible. It’s a DC brand model DCMA-80R. I understand it’s a toss up whether it will work, but I’m hopeful. Thx. JP

Q:Do you have samples of the collet back pins in 1"? I ordered samples last month, but both the ones I received were pin back. They work fine in my machine, but I wanted to see if it would do collet back too before I order supplies. (I was gifted one of the cheap neon green button machines from Vevor. No idea where it's made, but your regular pin backs fit it for sure.)
Asked by: Gaylia Wagner
- 3/26/2024
A: Hi there. If you order 1 inch samples we will send the collet style. I can save you the trouble though, US made 1 inch collets do not work reliably in Vevor machines. Sorry!!
