    No wonder my buttons often came off. Great camera angle and well verbalized! Thank you Sewing Queen Catherine!

    How the heck can I be in my 60's and not know how to sew a button on correctly? You've taught me a new skill again! Catherine (its hard for me to not call you Cathy) you are the best!

      Oh my goodness! You took the words right out of my head. When I think of how long I’ve been sewing, over 60 years, it’s refreshing to learn not only a new technique but a better way of sewing.

      I cannot believe that I too am over 60 and have sewn many buttons in my time, but have truly learnt something today. You are an amazing sewer and like many others on here, just love your videos 🥰🥰

    I'm a 44 years old man, I have been sewing every now and then for years, ever since I was a kid and I would do an ok job, but today I learned how to sew a button like a pro following all the steps you showed and I'm amazed how good it looks!
    Thank you so much for this! I've really learned a very useful thing today and it will come in handy for the rest of my life! Thank you!

    Thank you so much for such a helpful and clear tutorial. You’ve shown me that I’ve been sewing buttons for over 30 years WRONG! I’ve been putting the toothpick or match underneath the button through the stitches and it’s very difficult; how I wish I’d been putting it on the top where it is demonstrably far better. Well, you know what they say, it’s never too late to learn and I shall be doing it your far more sensible way in future. I’m enormously grateful, thank you!

    Many many thanks! I had remembered seeing something about using multiple threads like this somewhere, so I did a youtube search and your wonderful video came up. Facing having to sew on 8 buttons to a jacket I altered for my grandson didn't sound like a fun morning for me, especially since I knew my little domestic sewing machine couldn't handle doing them. This was a breeze with your tutorial!
