How did I attach the Linen Thread on the card below?
Donna, I never want my buttons to fall off the card so I actually sew them through the cardstock.
My process is to place the button where I want it, poke through the button holes with a piercing tool, and then with a needle and linen thread, sew it on. No bow, I tie it off in a knot on the backside. If I want a bow, like on the card below, I just tie it into a bow as if I were tying my shoes.
I hope this helps.

ETA: attn. Donna, the wreath is stamped in brown ink, the berries in red. The only linen thread is tied with a bow onto the button. HTH, Valerie

Thanks for the response Val. To do the linen thread in the circle for the wreath did you also poke holes and sew in the circle?

Most impressive, though not surprising at all that you go the extra mile in creating your cards Val. They are always so classy.
