Button Sewing Tips

So you've finished your entire garment and "all you have left" are the buttons. Here are several helpful tips when putting your finishing touch onto your piece:

Tip#1:
The placement of the button on a casual shirt and/or jacket is half the button width from the edge. The spacing and number of buttons is up to you! Remember, you don't always have to do what the pattern says. You're the designer!

Tip#2:
Use dental floss as your thread to secure a shank button.

Tip#3:
Use a clear back-up button for a high stress areas.
