Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have wrapped the thread around the base of the button three to four times to create a sturdier shank.
Buttonhole is too small for the button
Check if the buttonhole has stretched or shrunk during washing; if the button is too tight, you may need to widen the buttonhole slightly using a seam ripper and blanket stitch.
