Often there is a need to sew on a button torn from clothing. This is especially familiar to mothers of lively children, who often tear clothes and bring torn fastenings. At first glance, this task seems very easy, because there is nothing difficult in making a few stitches, returning the fittings to their place. However, many people have never picked up a needle and thread to mend a shirt or blouse in their lives. Therefore, the question of proper sewing is relevant.
Buttons with two holes and their features
Buttons with two holes are the most common type of fastening, which is used in different types of clothing. Depending on the size, these can be raincoat fastenings or a small size for a men's shirt. They also differ in color, design and material from which they are made.
Two holes in the button make it possible to easily and freely fasten the product on the body. At the same time, they ensure reliable sewing to the fabric and long service life.
Against the backdrop of the huge variety of accessories existing on the market today, buttons with double holes are still popular and widely used in various clothes. They are comfortable, do not require additional maintenance and are easily restored into place if necessary.
How to properly sew a fastener with two holes?
The basic principle of sewing is no different from attaching fittings with four or three holes. You will have to make several stitches and secure the thread so that the clasp does not fall off.
But it’s still worth considering this process step by step:
- First, we select a button that matches the product in shape, color and loop size (ideal if you have a spare one or managed to find a lost clasp);
- the thread is threaded through a needle and its ends are fastened with one small knot;
- on the product, use soap chalk to mark the place where the fittings need to be sewn;
- from the wrong side a puncture is made with a needle and the thread is pulled to the front side;
- then a button is threaded through a needle and applied to the fabric;
- a second stitch is made into the free hole;
- the manipulations are repeated several times until the button is well sewn to the clothing;
- secure the thread using a loop formed by going around the fastener and pulling the free edge through it.
The main thing is not to tighten the thread while sewing. A thread that is too tight will ensure that the fittings fit tightly to the fabric, and this, in turn, will make buttoning the shirt uncomfortable in the future.
After the button is sewn, it can be turned in different directions and easily threaded into the loops. If the fastening does not turn, this means that it is sewn too tightly to the product and will create discomfort when fastening it.
Tips for those who are not comfortable with thread and needle
Experienced seamstresses advise using a thread that is not too long, which will ensure comfortable work and will not twist and leave tight loops.
In this case, the threads need to be selected to match the button. It should not be too thick or thin. Everything is as harmonious and beautiful as possible; this is the only way the fittings will quietly fall into place. In order not to worry about constantly sewing on a button in the future, you need to choose a strong thread that will ensure reliable fastening of the accessories to the clothing.
Experts also advise using high-quality fasteners made of durable materials so that the buttons last a long time and are reliable. Sewing a fastener with two holes is not difficult, even for someone who has never done it before. The main thing is to be patient and make marks on the fabric where the fastener and stitches that secure it to the surface should be located. This will make the task much easier.
