Thread just holds better, hands down.<br/>Yes, I double my thread and I use regular sewing thread. I definitely wouldn't suggest the dental floss for the simple fact that when you think about when you use it in your teeth, it frays and splits~not something you want getting tugged on incessantly.<br/>I always use the double thread technique because I have to make <i>fewer</i> passes through the button that way. And I also knot the two ends of thread high up, leaving a good three inches, so that when I'm done sewing through the button, I have plenty of thread to tie off/knot with.<br/>Maybe I should do a needle threading tute, next??? :) I have used yarn in the past and tested it for strength and I find, no matter what yarn, it just pulls it’s way out of the buttons.

So you don't use yarn to attach your buttons. Too bulky? Too stretchy? <br/><br/><br/>Do you double up your thread, or use heavy weight thread? Your thread looks very thick. Could you use unwaxed dental floss? Pretty buttons! So you don’t use yarn to attach your buttons. Too bulky? Too stretchy?

Do you double up your thread, or use heavy weight thread? Your thread looks very thick. Could you use unwaxed dental floss?
