Sewing buttons. How to professionally sew buttons to outerwear? And it’s easier to sew a button on a finished leg

How to sew a button on a leg to a fur coat, coat, sheepskin coat or jacket? It would seem that it would be simpler, there would be only a needle and thread. However, in order for the sewn button to hold securely and not come off at the most inopportune moment, you still need to know some secrets and be able to sew buttons correctly and securely.

This video shows how to sew a small flat button to a shirt.

Before sewing on a button, pick up a needle and thread

Even a man can sew a new button to his trousers, jacket or shirt. This is one of the simplest repair sewing jobs that everyone needs to be able to do. It is only important to follow simple rules and techniques.

You can also sew on a flat button using a special foot on a sewing machine, but most often sew on a button have to be done by hand, especially since many buttons (on a fur coat, sheepskin coat, leather jacket, etc.) have a “leg” that cannot be made on a typewriter.

1. First of all, inspect the place where the button came off, remove the remnants of the thread. Sometimes a button comes off "with meat" (especially for sheepskin coats and fur coats), so this area needs to be restored. If the fabric is thin, then it is enough just to glue the wrong side with adhesive material. The torn parts of the fur of a fur coat or sheepskin coat must be joined with a furry seam, strengthened with special "amplifiers", and in some cases it will be necessary to glue a patch on the wrong side, cutting out the fur (sheepskin coat) in this place. On a leather jacket, this is easier to do; it is enough to lubricate the patch and the torn area (wrong side) with rubber glue. Wait for the glue to dry, apply the patch and press firmly. For example, you can gently tap the patch with a hammer.

2. Decide what kind of button you need. A flat button with two or four holes, or on the reverse side, it should have a stem. If the button is flat with holes, then you need to select the thread to match the color of the button, but it is imperative that its shade matches the thread that other buttons are sewn on.
The threads of a button with an eye are almost invisible, so the color of the thread no longer plays such an important role.

3. To sew on a button comfortably, select a suitable size hand sewing needle. A thick and long needle with a large eye is suitable for outerwear. A regular needle of medium thickness and length (darning) is used to sew a button to cotton fabric (men's shirts). A short and very thin needle, suitable when you need to sew a button on a silk blouse.

4. Select a suitable thread that matches the thickness of the threads of the weave of the fabric. In other words, than thinner fabric, the thinner the thread and needle. Conversely, for a button with an eyelet (drape coat, leather coat, etc.), you can even use floss to clean your teeth. A button sewn with such a thread will hold on very firmly. The denser the fabric, the thicker the thread and, of course, the needle should be. This rule is especially important to observe when sewing on the buttons of outerwear.

5. Cut at least 50 cm from the spool. Cut the thread with very sharp scissors so that the cut end of the thread can be easily inserted into the eye. It is inconvenient to work with a long thread, it will constantly get confused, sometimes even forming knots that cannot be untied. We'll have to unravel the threads and start work again.
With a short thread, it is convenient to sew on a button, but with it you can only sew on one button at a time.

Pull the thread through the eye of the needle and align both ends of the thread. It is better to sew a button with a double thread. Twist the ends of the thread together, wrap a couple of times around your index finger and continue twisting with your fingers so that a knot is formed. Cut off the remaining ends below the knot, leaving about 0.5 cm.

Now you can sew on a button

Even for the smallest buttons, you need to make a leg, in any case, wind around its base with several turns of thread. This must be done on any product, not only on jackets, fur coats or sheepskin coats. The fact is that when a button is fastened into a loop, it should have a little "freedom" for the thickness of the fabric and easy passage in the loop. In addition, a button with a small stem or with a gap will last longer. since the threads and fabric will not "strain" during fastening.

The simplest technique for sewing on a button with a stem is that a match is laid between the button and the fabric. This will allow in the future to wind the "leg", which is necessary for almost any button. The leg is needed not only to make it easy to thread it through the loop, the leg protects the fabric, such as a silk blouse or a dress made of thin material, from tearing.

For thin fabrics, you can use a paper match, twisted into a tube of paper. To sew a large flat button to a heavy woolen coat, use a wooden oven match. Do not use a toothpick instead of a match, it is easy for it to prick during operation.

Find the place where the button was sewn before. Carefully remove the remnants of old thread. Now pierce the fabric from the inside, trying to get to the point where the thread previously passed. Pull it out completely, circle past the match and thread it through the eyelet, pulling the thread taut. Stick the needle on the other side of the match. If the buttons have four holes, apply stitches with a cross or two parallel stripes, following the pattern in which other buttons are sewn, remembering to draw each next stitch from different sides of the match. After making about ten stitches, bring the needle out in the gap between the button and the fabric.

How to make a button leg

Pull out the match carefully. Wrap the thread remaining in the needle around the vertical threads so that a kind of stem forms. For the leg, you will need to wrap the thread around at least five times. Then insert the needle through the base of the stem into the tissue. Pull the needle from the inside out and pass it through the stem again, repeating this operation several times.
For the last time, insert the needle through the stalk of the stem on the wrong side of the fabric, cut the thread with scissors almost near the eye of the needle and tie the two ends of the thread into a strong knot on the wrong side of the fabric. Trim off excess threads. The button stem is now securely fastened.

Do not forget that large buttons for a sheepskin coat, fur coat, leather jacket and raincoat, as well as on any coat or jacket, must be sewn along with the buttonhole. They are sold in hardware stores, but you can also use just flat buttons of small diameter.

In order to sew a button to a fur coat or sheepskin coat, you need to pick up a very strong and thick thread. When you need to sew a lot of buttons, and the thread is not too thick, thread a double thread into the eye of the needle, as a result, the thread will be folded four times, this will speed up your work.

Seemingly simple operation sew a button, sometimes causes difficulties and you have to sew it "as it will turn out." Any, even the simplest, business has its subtleties, including sewing on a button. The imposition of stitches in a button with a cross, a square or in another way, if it has four holes, is a matter of your imagination and taste.

How to sew on a button on a sewing machine

At the factory, buttons are sewn on a special sewing machine, however, this is also possible at home. After all, almost every household sewing machine with a zigzag stitch has a foot for sewing on buttons. It is only necessary to master this operation a little and the process of sewing on buttons will become easy and fast.

Firstly, the foot must be used specifically for sewing on buttons so that it fixes the button well. Under a non-button presser foot, it may slip and you will break the needle on the machine and scratch or even split the button with the needle.
Sew on a button with a foot carefully at minimum speed, having previously set the required zigzag width according to the distance between the holes of the button.
There is no special sewing machine needle for sewing on a button with the foot, but be aware that a needle that is too thin can bend or break if it does not fit into the hole in the button.
The Seagull sewing machine has a zigzag stitch and buttons can be sewn on it. But unfortunately included sewing machine Seagull does not have a special foot for sewing on buttons.

Well, what secret can be hidden in such an elementary task as sewing on buttons? But if you figure out how many modern people have left clothes that are fastened not with a zipper, Velcro or buttons, but with the help of a traditional, and tried and tested for centuries, but not always convenient accessory - buttons? A couple of decades ago, almost every inhabitant of the planet knew, With 4 holes, two or on a leg, small and large, flat and voluminous - it took a few minutes to complete such a task, and the result was always satisfactory.

Mastery must be in everything

Yes, indeed, in order to attach a small button to its proper place, it is worth working hard. Someone may say that there is nothing difficult in this, but without proper skill and preparation, an attempt to return a lost or torn off fugitive to its place may end ineffectively.

It is important to attach the button symmetrically with respect to the loop, it is necessary to correctly calculate the thread tension and make the “leg” such that the fastener does not sag excessively, but is not too close to the fabric. Aesthetic components, such as accuracy, choosing the right thread in color and thickness, and even sewing on buttons, are also important. As you can see, any business, even such an elementary one as sewing on a button, must be approached responsibly and seriously.

Frightening Amulet

In our age modern technologies and the button has ceased to be something special in the mass market, people rarely order their clothes from tailors, and therefore the choice of a fastener is more of a task for designers at sewing enterprises. And in these organizations, purchasing managers are guided more by the benefits and functionality of the button, but not by its beauty and style. But a few centuries ago, it was of much greater importance for a person, it was a talisman, an amulet, an indicator of his wealth and taste.

The more prosperous a person was, the more luxurious buttons he could afford. This is now predominantly made of cheap plastic, although samples of metal, bone, wood and glass are available in stores, and earlier buttons were real works of art. They were encrusted precious stones, covered with gilding and silvered, engravers applied ornate patterns, images of family coats of arms and symbolic signs to tiny clasps. Moreover, people knew how to sew a button for good luck, prosperity, love.

The use of a fastener for clothes as an amulet has a completely logical explanation. Once upon a time, small bells were attached to things, they were supposed to wake up their owner if someone touched him in a dream. Such an “alarm” helped to avoid theft, and could even save from death, but over time, the bells were replaced by ordinary buttons, although they can still fulfill their deep roots of the amulet.

Aesthetics or something more?

The secret of that consists of several components. People who sincerely believe in the higher powers and superpowers of the objects surrounding a person are convinced that in order to acquire special energy for such a simple thing, you need to perform a few fairly simple steps.

First of all, it is important to sincerely believe in what you are doing - that is, if you are skeptical about the creation of an amulet, then there will definitely not be a result from this. Secondly, the work must be done independently. When sewing on a button for good luck, or for any other purpose, you need to mentally pronounce what you want. It is not necessary to give the conspiracy some special word form, it should be capacious and significant and contain variations of the phrase: “I sew luck on myself with a button, and I sew off failure.”

It is very important to observe a special sequence in the execution of stitches. It is for this reason that it is believed that for a positive result you need to use a four-hole fastener, but how to sew on a button with 4 holes to achieve your goal?

Such luck...

For each person, the concept of good luck and luck lies in different things, so there is no one universal way to fix buttons on clothes. In each specific case of making stitches, the result will be different. So, two horizontal parallel stripes in the center of the accessory will help you make friends, gain authority in the team, and vertical ones will contribute to the development of intuition.

If you are interested in the question of how to sew on a button with 4 holes and thereby increase your attractiveness or improve your health, then the answer is simple - you need to lay a thread in the form of a cross. Stitches that secure the button to the fabric and are shaped latin letter Z in its correct or mirror position guarantees the acquisition of financial prosperity and improvement of business reputation.

There are several more important points in turning a button into a real amulet. After all, if everything were so simple, then the most ordinary button-down jacket would give any person a cloudless sky over his head, wealth and love to the grave. The following should be remembered:

• work should be done on the days when the moon is waxing;
• it is better to buy a new button;
• choosing the sample that is made from natural material and you liked it, and you need to attach the amulet not to the first thing that came across, but to your favorite and often dressed one.

You can sew a button from the inside, best of all on the left side - closer to the heart.

Simple fix

So, if everything has become clear with questions of high matters, then you should understand the practical side of the problem, namely, how to properly sew a button, do it carefully and, most importantly, reliably.

First of all, you need to prepare a place for future repairs. In the ideal case, a defect on clothing is noticed at the moment when the fastener is just trying to leave its “native” place. In this case, the button must be carefully cut off without damaging the fabric, remove the remaining threads and return to its proper place.

The classic and most reliable sewing method is when the stitches form a cross from the right side. To make the work beautiful and from the inside out, the stitches should not be done randomly, but following a simple algorithm:

1. Fasten the thread at the sewing point by making several stitches superimposed one on the other.
2. Sew on a button, while the first puncture must be made from the wrong side, bringing the needle out in the upper left hole, and the seam must be completed from the opposite side - in the lower hole on the right.
3. To make a cross stitch, you need to mirror the previous steps - bring the needle and thread from the wrong side to the front, only this time at the top right, and direct it into the lower left hole.
4. When sewing on a button, do not forget to make a “leg” for it, loosening the thread a little. A match inserted between the fabric and the fastener will help to avoid excessive tension, a paper tube.
5. The stitches should be repeated several times (5-10), then fasten the thread by wrapping it around the loops on the front side of the product under the button (after removing the match) and making a control stitch through the formed "leg".

Beauty is in the details

All other ways of how to sew on a button with 4 holes differ only in that the sequence of stitches changes, the very principle and course of action remains unchanged.

When doing such work, you should pay attention to all stages of sewing. When the button comes off, as they say, “with meat”, and there is no piece of fabric in its place, the product should first be repaired and strengthened. A very small hole can be patched up, it is better to cover a larger hole from the inside with a patch. Also, you can’t do without a patch in clothes made of leather (jackets, raincoats, sheepskin coats) or fur.

Naturally, before the start of the repair, you need to arm yourself with a tool and improvised material, based on what is to be repaired. To work with delicate and thin silk, it is better to use a thin needle with a narrow eye, respectively, and the thread should not be thicker than #40.

A less delicate jersey button-down sweater also needs a special approach. But here the difficulties will rather be with the choice of thread. It is advisable to use the one from which the product is connected: both in color and in structure. If there is no suitable piece, then you can pick up a similar one from the range of threads for embroidery or crochet. Also, special plastic needles with a round tip are sold in stores, which helps to avoid “injury” to knitwear.

What is easier?

Many on a whim may decide that working with outerwear is easier than working with underwear. Say, the fabric is denser, take a stronger thread and sew. But the difficulty of putting on a coat or raincoat lies not so much in the mechanism of work or in the selection of thread and needle, but in doing it right.

It is for outerwear that the presence of a “leg” is fundamental important point. Its absence is a guarantee that the button will come off faster, the absence of even a small (1-2 mm) gap equal to the thickness of the floor will create discomfort during fastening and unbuttoning clothes, the same as an incorrectly made buttonhole. A button that is not included in the prepared loop, and even too close to the fabric, will not stay on the finished product for a long time.

For large coat buttons, it is best to use strong thread(No. 20) made of polyester. It should also be borne in mind that no matter what type of clothing you have to work with, it is best to fold the piece of thread in half. At the same time, the piece should not be very short or excessively long - the optimal length is 50 cm. If you take less, there is a risk that the cut will not be enough, and the larger piece will be confused and folded into knots.

Two in one

Another trick that is most relevant for outerwear is the use of a second button. It is sewn from the wrong side of the product, and forms a kind of "sandwich" of the top and bottom buttons and material. For this, special under-buttons have been created, sometimes they are also called “counter-buttons”, but the simplest round flat fasteners will also fit perfectly.

Their use pursues two goals at once - a more reliable fixation, as well as avoiding deformation of the fabric at the place of sewing on the button, due to the fact that the material does not crumple, does not wrinkle, knots and threads are hidden from the wrong side of the product.

Technology to help you

Buttons can be sewn not only in the traditional way - by hand. Owners of sewing machines can use their technique in this matter. Almost all modern sewing machines, even those intended for domestic needs, and not industrial ones, have a set of paws as standard, among which there is also a foot for sewing on buttons. A special plate is also included in the kit to help set up the machine to create loops on the product.

The work of sewing on buttons with a machine must be done by selecting the zigzag stitch at low speed. It is important to choose the right stitch width, equal to the distance between the holes in the button, to avoid chipping the eye of the needle. To perform this work, a regular needle is suitable, unless the fabric requires otherwise. The same goes for threads.

In Rus', buttons on clothes were an item of luxury and wealth. They were made of copper, gold and silver, and only the most experienced and famous tailors were trusted to tailor them. To date, the button has become a common piece of clothing with which you can fasten the product. Consider interesting options neat and beautiful technique of sewing on buttons.

First, select a button by color, type and size. It should be in harmony with the material. To check if a button fits, thread it through the buttonhole on the garment before work, and you will immediately feel by the tightness of the entry whether it suits you.

• For fur coats, fur coats, autumn coats and winter jackets, pick up stronger needles with a large eye. When working with light material, needles with a thinner base are suitable.
• Choosing thread for sewing on buttons outerwear, give preference to reinforced fibers, they are more durable and wear-resistant.
• To attach accessories to a winter or demi-season product, use a button with a diameter of 3 to 7 mm. It must be sewn in parallel with the main button, but on the reverse side of the fabric.
• Keep in mind that when attaching accessories to a leg, you need to match the threads to the color of the fabric, and for flat buttons, to the color of the button.

How to sew on a button with two holes

Before sewing, make markings for fastening using a ruler and a bar of soap. Thread a single thread into the needle, and fasten in the form of a couple of stitches on the material, then bring the needle to the wrong side. Attach a button and inside product, pass the needle through any of the two holes. Sew 3-4 stitches, sewing each. To complete the work, fasten the thread to the back of the fabric and cut.

How to sew on a button with four holes

Pass the sewing thread through the needle, folding it in two layers, and tie a small knot at the end. On the front side of the product, make a small stitch and fasten the thread into a loop, then cut off the knot with scissors. Insert the button into the needle, and make the first puncture, as shown in the photo. For ease of use, divide the holes into pairs and sew each side with 3-5 stitches. Sew all holes individually to avoid skew. Finish sewing by bringing the thread from under the button to the front side, then wrap it around the formed leg 3-4 times. In the last step, pass the thread through the eyelet, tighten it tightly and cut.

How to sew a button on a coat

Pick up a thick needle, a strong thread, then thread it. Make a knot at the end and cut off the excess tail. If necessary, smooth the material with an iron or steamer, and also remove the remaining threads from the old fittings. It is very difficult to determine the height of the button stand by eye; for this, use improvised means - a toothpick or a match.

• Fasten the thread to the fabric with one stitch, leaving a knot on the surface, which will later be closed by sewing.
• Insert the button into the needle and pierce to the wrong side, securing with a stitch.
• Put the button on the needle in sequence - first pull the thread through one hole, then into the second. Connect the fabric and the buttonhole with a second puncture, bringing the needle to the front side.
• Insert an auxiliary item between the main part and the fabric, as shown in the photo. Make 3-4 connecting stitches.
• We finish sewing - remove the needle from the inside and carefully pull out the auxiliary item. Evenly wrap around the rack 2-3 times, tighten the thread and make a loop, cut off the excess.

The magic of a sewn-on button

What is a button? A common piece of clothing these days. And a long time ago it was the most important magical amulet that scared away evil from a person. Even the word “button” or “button” itself comes from the word scare, but it can also become your amulet, programmed for wealth and good luck. Would you like to try the magic effect of buttons on yourself? To do this, make your most cherished wish and select the sewing method shown below. In the evening, fasten a button to the wrong side of your favorite garment.

Every thing sometimes needs a little repair. Most often, we have to sew on a torn button. With thin summer and demi-season things, there are usually no problems. It is much more difficult to do this with outerwear, such as a coat.

What is needed in order to properly sew a button to a coat?

There are buttons on the coat two types: flat, with holes drilled in them, and convex, with a leg-eye or a leg-loop. In order to sew both one and the other, we will definitely need:

• needle;
• a thread;
• buttonhole;
• scissors;
• a thin piece of chalk or dry soap;
• long line.

Which needle is right for you?

The board to which the fasteners are sewn, as a rule, very dense in texture. It consists of at least four layers of front material. In high-quality sewn things, there is also a hot-melt adhesive padding material (doublerin, interlining) inside, which helps to keep the shape. Needle to sew on the button should be sharp, not too thin, long enough, with a large eye. Otherwise, it will bend, break, or "get lost" in the layers.

Thread selection

The color of the thread should match the button, if it is with holes, and the tone of the coat, if it is on the leg.

Thickness is not as important as strength. Don't use thread that has been sitting for many years. To see if it fits, try pulling on the end while holding the spool. If it breaks easily and immediately, you can throw it away, if you had to make some effort, feel free to use it.

What is an underbutton?

This is an additional small button that is sewn on the inside of the product at the same time and on the same level as the main one. In this case, the fabric is between them, during further operation it does not deform in the places of fastening. The load on the mount is reduced, making it more durable.

Sewing a button with holes

Important! Between the smooth button and the fabric there should be a play corresponding to the thickness of the coat at the location of the fastener. Otherwise, dents and wrinkles will soon appear around the fittings, and it will be very difficult to fasten the thing.

How to sew a button on a leg?

Some types of buttons are already equipped with a leg. They are sewn in the same way as with holes. It is not necessary to make a column of threads if the leg is in the form of a loop. If it is in the form of a recessed eyelet, a space of 1–2 mm must be left between the button and the fabric. Without it, the button will be tightly grasped, motionless and will not be able to freely pass into the slot. At the end of the work, you need to make a couple of turns around the threads under the button leg, tighten with a loop and secure.

HOW TO PROFESSIONALLY SEW BUTTONS TO OUTER CLOTHES? THE MOST COMPLETE INSTRUCTION! Of course, the easiest way to sew on a button is to give it to your wife. But, if, by an incredible coincidence, you yourself are a wife, then below you will learn as much about buttons and how to sew them on as you never knew in your life. What are the buttons If you look globally, then there are only two types of buttons: Flat (with two, three or four holes). These are the main buttons on a coat, raincoat, jacket or jacket. They are sewn with the execution of a rack of threads (below the instruction). It helps to avoid deformation of the loop and facilitates fastening. Flat buttons can be sewn without a stand, but only for beauty and without functional load (for example, on the slots of jacket sleeves). Buttons on the leg. They are sewn on without a stand (the “leg” on a button takes over the function of the stand). Choosing the right button If you're sewing on a button that hasn't come off, but want to renew the buttons on your outerwear, then take their shape, color, and size seriously. Of course, they are of such unearthly beauty that further “everything is in a fog” and you want to buy it right there and sew it on right now. But it is better to pull yourself together, otherwise the result may be unpredictable. There are only three rules: Buttons should be in harmony with the style and material of your clothes. Therefore, carefully choose the color and shape. Buttons should not be too small or too large. Otherwise, they will either unfasten endlessly and thereby incredibly annoy, or while fastening them, you will break three nails, earn two calluses and break the loop. How to understand which size is correct? Try. Take a button that has not yet been sewn on and conduct an “in-out” experiment with it. When choosing a button on a leg, evaluate the correspondence of the size of the leg to the thickness of the material to which you will sew. So that it does not happen that it will sag or, conversely, there will be difficulties with fastening. Choosing the right needle Everything is very simple here: A thick needle is suitable for sheepskin coats, fur coats, leather jackets and coats. Fine needle - for lightweight cotton fabrics and medium-sized buttons. Choosing the right thread Thread color For buttons on legs, the thread should match the color of the fabric. For flat buttons, match the color of the button itself. Thread quality Cotton threads are not the best choice unless sewing on buttons is your lifelong hobby. They wear out and tear quickly. Reinforced threads - the best option! One might say eternal. And, of course, the thicker the fabric, the thicker and stronger the thread should be. Thread thickness It is better to use a thread folded in half (total 4 additions). This is not so much for the sake of strength, but for the sake of saving you time. Two, three stitches and the button will be sewn on! Thread length The doubled thread should not be longer than the distance from the elbow to the wrist of your hand. Otherwise, you will get confused and tired of pulling the needle to the ceiling. The buttonhole is a must! Since we sew buttons to outerwear, we cannot do without a buttonhole. A buttonhole is a plastic flat button of the simplest form with round or elongated holes, usually transparent. It is sewn on from the wrong side, simultaneously with the main button. That is, it was created not for beauty, but for reliability. What is the buttonhole for? For "heavy" winter clothes (fur coats, sheepskin coats, etc.) buttonholes - this is very important! Because the load on the main buttons is too big. Judge for yourself: either you wrap yourself in a scarf three times and fasten all this beauty on top, then you run after the bus with leaps and bounds, or just walk, but long, thoughtfully and with long strides. Therefore, the top and bottom buttons are especially affected, and all the others are equally affected. And the buttonholes are something that greatly simplifies their life and relieves the load at times. Sew on! So, the thread was folded in half, threaded into the needle, a knot was tied at the end, the extra tail was cut off. Prepare your fabric. If wrinkled, iron or steam. If you are sewing on a torn button, then get rid of the remnants of the thread in the place of its former habitat, everything should be clean. Mark the location of the button. Of course, everything should be symmetrical and even. Sew on a flat button So that the fabric in the button area does not stretch or tear, it must be sewn with a small stand of threads. The length of the rack should correspond to the thickness of the side on which the loops are made. A little trick To make a rack of threads, you can use a match, a pen rod or a roll of paper of the thickness you need. Sounds scary, but it's easy to do. Start from the wrong side. Pierce the fabric with a needle at the intended point. The knot will remain on the surface, later we will close it with a buttonhole. On the needle, on the front side, put on a button, first with one, then with the other hole. The second time, pierce with a needle from the front side, stepping back 1-2 mm from the first puncture. Pull the button to the fabric. Not tight - leave room to form a rack. Bring the needle through the hole in the buttonhole. Form 3-4 similar stitches. Make the last puncture and bring the needle out between the button and the material. Form a dense and strong rack, evenly wrapping it around with 3-4 stitches. Make sure that the upholstery does not gather in one place, otherwise you will get an ugly thickening. Perform the last puncture under the button post, bring the needle between the buttonhole and the material, fasten the thread in any convenient way and cut. Important! Decorative (finishing, non-functional) buttons do not have a stand. Sew on the button "on the leg". Great news! For a button “on a leg”, there is no need to make a stand of threads, which greatly simplifies our life. The exception is a very wide bead thickness. The button should be positioned so that its stem is parallel to the buttonhole. Perform the first puncture with a needle and thread, from the wrong side, strictly to the intended point. The knot will remain on the surface, later we will close it with a buttonhole. Put the button on the loop and make a second piercing of the fabric, stepping back 1-1.5 mm from the first and pulling the button close enough to the surface. Insert the needle sequentially into the holes of the buttonhole and puncture at the very first point. Pull the button tight! Form 3-4 similar stitches. Bring the needle between the fabric and the button and sew two wrap stitches to form a loop and tighten the knot. Make the last puncture under the leg of the button, bring the needle to reverse side and carefully cut the threads with scissors. How to fasten buttons correctly? Yes, yes, even this banal daily action has instructions. And the one who observes them with a 99% probability will forever forget what stretched and torn loops are. In this case, the main thing is not to force the loop. Buttons must be inserted exactly along the buttonhole slot. That is, if the loop is horizontal, we insert the button horizontally, if it is vertical, we insert it vertically. When unbuttoning buttons, the rule is exactly the same. Inserted along the buttonhole and gently pushed the button inside out. That's all! But, of course, sewing on buttons is a thing that is better to see once than to read a hundred times.
