Ed,
you are right. I am sorry to everyone else but we do a great job with our button hole and button sewing machines. We think they look fantastic the way we now offer them with the standard custom program.
But when a client does request hand sewn buttons and buttonholes I have a lady come in just for that and she charges me and in return I charge my client ,you have to pay for skill .
By the way we are not located in China where they get paid 10 dollars a month, we are in America.
