How to use it

• For a coat button, leave a small space under the button and wrap the thread around the tail: you create a button foot that fits the thickness of the fabric.
• On velvet, sew by hand rather than with a pin: pins leave marks in the hair.
• Sew the stitches inside out of the work, with a small row of back stitches.

Choose brown or wood buttons and fusible interfacing to reinforce collars and pockets. Corduroy or boiled wool in the same shades lends itself well to this.
