Ladies please don't mess up your quilts with a staple gun.They have sharp barbs that can mess up your fabric.I remembe a little thing from years ago that would put buttons on real quick. A little tool went through the fabric,the button hole and clipped a short plastic piece through all. When you were ready to sew your button in place you simlpe sewed on the button and clipped the plastic with scissors.They would begreat for basting until you got your sewing done.
