Our advice

• Make a buttonhole by hand: the cord gives a dense scalloped stitch and a clean edge.
• For a coat, fix the buttons with the lined thread and make several passes through the holes.
• On a thick wool, stitch slowly and without pulling on the fabric, to avoid irregular stitches.
• On a burgundy fabric, topstitch in tone on tone for a sober effect that can only be seen by touch.

Pair it with a thick woollen or cotton canvas and coat buttons. A pair of sharp sewing scissors helps to cut thick threads cleanly.
