Procedures for attaching buttons with a
shank
When attaching this kind of buttons, pass
a needle sideways through a hole instead
of up and down as for buttons with
holes. Observe the following procedures:
(i) Mark the position of a button and
fasten on the thread using two
backstitches in the same way as
attaching a button with holes.
(ii) Stitch through the shank and fabric
with four or five small even stitches.

Buttonholes
There are three types of buttonholes
namely: worked buttonholes, bound
buttonholes and in-seam buttonholes.
worked buttonholes because they are
strong. Worked buttonholes are made
by using matching or contrasting thread
if meant for decorative purposes.
On the other hand, bound buttonholes
are made with a strip of fabric before the
opening is worked during the construction
of the garment.
Bound buttonholes are often used
when constructing a coat or jacket. The
buttonholes can be of the same colour
with the garment or a contrasting one to
bring about the decorative effect.
