what is the button trick to make

The “button trick” most likely refers to sewing a button on with a little thread shank so it sits slightly off the fabric and doesn’t pull too tightly. That method is used in sewing tutorials and makes the button more secure and easier for the buttonhole fabric to sit under.

How it works

• Sew the button in place with a few passes through the holes.

• Place a toothpick or pin under the button while sewing to leave a small gap.

• Wrap the thread around the stitched base a few times to form the shank.

• Tie off the thread on the back to secure it.

Why people use it

This trick helps keep the button from wobbling too much, reduces strain on the fabric, and gives the buttonhole room to sit properly.

If you meant a different trick

There are also viral “button hole” puzzles and clothing hacks that use buttons in different ways, but the sewing shank method is the most common meaning of “button trick.”
