I do like buttons. I guess I leaned towards snaps because I like to make one project, finish it completely, then move on to the next one. I am using my avatar and it's a pain to hook up the buttonhole attachment. (It takes like 2 minutes really, but it seems like a pain.) If I made the bags assembly line style and did all the button holes at the same time that would work. It's just different from my normal way of working. I may do some that way.
