1. Pull the thread from the reel and take out to arms length
2. Now pull out another arms length of cotton This implies you now have a long piece of cotton.
3. Fold the cotton into two making certain that completions are even
4. You now have a fold one end and two joins the other end
5. Thread the 2 joins into the eye of the needle. If required to dampen, lick the ends
6. You will now have four threads in the needle
7. Knot completion of the four threads. To make a knot I simply roll the end of the cotton around my forefinger and roll the thread or pull through the hole in the cotton. Trim these off if you have threads past the knot
8. Push the needle through the material going from the ideal side to the wrong side in the position that the button is going to be. This suggests when you sew the button on the knot will be below the button
10. Bring the needle back from the wrong side to the best side that the button will be on.
11. Put the button on to the needle and press the button down on to the fabric, covering the knot
12. Now put the needle through the opposite hole on the button and back through to the opposite side of the fabric
13. , if you want to come back through one more time you can or you can knot off by putting the thread through itself and pulling the thread Do this twice and cut the thread.
