You mean someone don’t do it like this? Yeah I was taught to just sew them flush against the fabric. It didn’t work as well as I thought it should… Yeah, I’m so downloading a copy of this post because buttons and I do not like each other. I worked as a costume designer and assistant in a costume shop for 2 years and honest 2 god this will save your life. I am a professional tailor and I approve this message. @sheinthatfandom I’ll try to explain it, to the best of my understanding. Create an anchor point on the fabric by creating an x with the thread. Then repeat that pattern of stitches going through the button holes Instead of pulling the thread tight between each stitch keep it loose enough you have room to loop the thread around beneath the button when you’re finished. Loop it three times then put the needle between the top loop and through the middle of the threads coming down from the button. Pull it tight and it will create a knot almost like a hangman’s noose. only much smaller. It gives the button room to move without putting excess strain on the fabric or on the thread. -- source link
