Buttons must always be sewn onto double fabric when sewing on single fabric re-enforce with tape or interfacing.
Use a button thread when attaching button’s to allow for constant strain.
Visible lines on the button must be in line with the buttonhole.
Always attach the buttons after the buttonholes have been sewn.
– Mark the position of each button to correspond with the buttonholes already sewn
– Using double thread of matching colour fasten on securely
– Work 5 or 6 upright stitches through the buttonhole leaving 0.3cm thread each time between button and fabric to form a shank
– On thick fabric leave thread to allow for a larger shank
– Before taking the thread through to the wrong side for the final time firmly wind the threads several times around the shank
– Take thread through to the wrong side and loop stitch a bar to neaten the stitches
– Fasten off securely
