Double thread your needles (Meaning thread the needle, then the 2 ends together at the opposite end. Sew with both pieces of thread, instead of just one.) 2. Knot your thread at the beginning and end 3. I probably oversew my buttons - I loop diagnally through the button holes 4-5 times each, depending on how thick the thread is. I'm NO expert!! But this is what I learned from 4-H as a little girl. :) About the buttons – there are a few tricks to remember.
