Question
Hi Irene,
There was a writer named Susan that had obtained a buttonhole cutter. I am a tailoring student and I am diligently looking to buy this tool. Are you able to point me in the direction to where I could buy such a tool?
Hello Ja'Nette,
Thank you for your query.
Unfortunately I am not at liberty to share the questioner's email addressed with you. Perhaps there is a place on the AllExpert forum where you could post your wanted ad -- I'm not sure.
Probably eBay or garage/estate sales would be the best place to find these needlework tools. I personally do not know of one for sale.
Regards,
Irene
Hello Ja'Nette,
Susan has contacted me again about this buttonhole cutting tool. If you will send me your email address to: xtahoeviews@yahoo.com, I will ask Susan to do the same thing and then the two of you can decide how best to proceed on the sale of this item.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
