Step-by-Step Process to Attach Upholstery Buttons

Step 1: Plan Button Placement

Measure and mark each button location carefully. Consistent spacing creates a balanced and professional tufted pattern.

Step 2: Prepare Buttons

Use an upholstery button machine from Astor Berning SA to cover buttons with matching fabric. Confirm that each button is assembled securely.

Step 3: Thread the Needle

Attach twine to the button and thread it through the upholstery needle. Ensure the twine is strong enough to hold the button in place over time.

Step 4: Insert the Button Through the Upholstery

Push the needle through the marked spot, passing through fabric, foam, and base material. Pull firmly to create the desired tuft depth.

Step 5: Secure the Button
