This tool basically consists of a hollow needle which pushes a T shaped plastic fastener through the hole it punches. Since the needle is rather big and the plastic fastener small this won't last long and depending on the fabric will leave an unsightly hole. There are plenty of fasteners and buttons included in the package, but the buttons look VERY cheap. You can use the tool with store bought shank buttons which at least would make them look nice- still not very sturdy though.
The product was received in good share and appeared as advertised.
It works. But, I used it on a pair of black pants ans the white plastic is definitely unsightly. There should be dark and light plastic fasteners.
I just purchased this product and I am extremely disappointed in Singer for putting their name on this. I had a buttoneer years ago that was fantastic. The attachments were stronger and the hand-held machine was very simple to work. I just wasted two fastners because they broke trying to use this machine they are very cheaply made. They need to be the strength of the fastners on tags in the stores. I rarely return things I am not happy with; but I will return this as I am very very disappointed in Singer. What happened don't you have any pride and want to maintain your reputation.
I am an avid seamstress. I have made anything from basic everyday child clothes to prom dresses to quilts. This item appears to be great but it truly isn't all that practical. There are buttons that this needle will not fit through the opening. It's also bulky. I would recommend having a small emergency sewing kit. You have a few needles, tiny pair of scissors, thread...plus it takes up less space then this item. I certainly wouldn't recommend using this on silk. I used this against my better judgment as it is what my sister had with her and it ruined her blouse.
I used to trust the Singer name but this is the second device to let me down. The needle was bent and no answer on the customer service #. Earlier this year I bought the hand held mender that is supposed to make a chain stitch and it too was useless. I am out almost $30 but Singer is out a former customer of 50+ years.
I do not like this product! Very difficult to load (stuck myself in the finger with the needle when attempting to load plastic threader)! And very hard to get needle and threader thru cotton fabric material.
I was looking for a quick way to fix buttons. This is not the tool. I could not even load this tool. I am not the smartest guy but am usually pretty handy. By the time I get a button loaded on this tool, I coudl have hand sewn four of them. What a waste of money! No wonder they sent me two of them. I would be looking to dump them also.
A+ .
It wasn't very easy to manipulate the tabs into the device. Not only that, but it was difficult to find the right clasp to hook the button to an outfit. It took less time to hand sew than it did to use this product. Luckily it wasn't expensive, but it was still a waste of money.
