What size button cutter should I get?
Hello All.
I just bought my button machine for 1" buttons and am trying to decide on how best to go about cutting the circles out. Eventually I want to get a tecre punch, but having just shelled out $260 for the machine itself, it's a little outside my means for now.
So with the bleed the area for 1" is 1.3" ish. I read somewhere someone saying that they used a scrapbooking punch that was a couple of mill off but was fine for the results. However she didn't mention which way it was off. Since I can't get one the exact size, do I go for the 1.25" or the 1.5" =x
I don't know whether the holder would be big enough for the 1.5 however I don't know if the 1.25 would affect the bleed.
Any advice on this matter would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance =3

The smaller one would be within the tolerance limits, but the larger one won't work at all, you'd have to recut every circle, because the button maker won't close over a circle that's bigger than it's limits. Try using carefully hand cut circles of 1.25 and see if they work in your maker before you buy the cutter. And make sure you buy a cutter that you can see through, or you won't be able to cut out your designs on center after printing.
