 more than just buttons July 25, 2010

I already owned the Buttoneer. I purchased the refills. They're hard to find sometimes. I was using them to fix some cushions. I also used them to attach the arm covers on my sofa and loveseat. I got them here for a good price and they came quite promptly.

This product is fine for a temporary repair to replace a button; long term break out the thread and needle.

I had bought a Buttoneer years ago in a bricks and mortar store. I only bought a pack of refills online.
+ This does seem to be quicker and easier than sewing on a button,
at least for people who aren't good at such tasks, like me, because we never learned how to do it right.
=> Someone should actually test and compare the time used for both methods.
(PS: In general, quite a few convenience products, incl. certain processed foods, do not save enough time to justify the extra cost.)
- The fasteners do not hold very well,
so you may have to re-attach that button within the same year.
- This is a razor-and-blades business model.
The company that makes the Buttoneer is the only one that makes the fasteners.
It's usually best to avoid such products, because they cost you more over the life of the product.
+ It does have a number of good uses other than re-attaching buttons.
The Bottom Line:
1. I'll finish using up 1/2 of the refills I bought.
2. Then I'll switch to using a needle and thread, which is more durable.
3. I'll keep the other refills for those few jobs for which this is really better or much faster than sewing.
AND:
The maker needs to come out with a new design that is more durable. Probably making the fasteners stronger is enough.
The retailer:
Prompt delivery. No junk mail.
Read the privacy statements carefully. I bought an item from Dr. Leonard/Carol Wright once and was buried in junk mail (catalogs) from them and companies they sold my information to for months, including Heartland America, which outright refused to remove me from their mailing list.

It is a little finicky to use. Not built to last from what I can tell. And you will sometimes waste a fastener. However it does work.
You have to carefully push the pins thru the fabric as sometimes tough fabric will resist as the pins are pretty fat. I tend to keep my fingers on the other side to feel when the pins are starting to come thru. Then you have to make sure you push the plunger all the way in, and then manually pull the plunger back, before you pull the whole thing away from the fabric and the button.

I have used these Buttoneer Fastening System stapes for years. It's not as good as sewing the button on, but if you're inn a hurry it gets the job done.
