Please recommend a tool...

I want to make fabric covered buttons.  I’ve looked at the i-Top 2.0, and one of those terribly expensive gadgets from the American Button Machine company… which is more than I wish to spend.  Doing a little research, it doesn’t seem as if the i-Top does a very good job with fabric buttons?  I don’t want any folds around the edges, that is totally unacceptable…

So, does anyone have a tool they can recommend?  I’d like to be able to cover buttons ranging from as small as a half inch on up to possibly 2 inches, or a bit smaller.

It has to make perfectly smooth fabric buttons! :)

I’m off to spend a day sewing with the girls.  It’s one of those rare occasions that I’m hauling the Bernina 630 out, because I want to finish grid hatching the side panels for the cover I’m making for it, and I discovered it would fit into my serger case, which will in turn fit in the front seat of my Miata!

My featherweight is shipping Monday!  Yay!
