Key takeaways:
- Match thread and needle to fabric weight, using double thread for thick materials like denim
- Sew through button holes four to five times, then wrap the base for a shank that prevents tightness
- Reinforce frayed buttonholes with small, even stitches along the edge
- Tie off with the loop method for a knot that holds, avoiding simple overhand ties
- Align the button with the placket and test fit early to ensure a snug, professional result

Whether working on silk or wool, these techniques deliver lasting results in under ten minutes.
