  This is great! It’s one of those ‘why didn’t I think of that??’ kinds of things that very few people actually do think of.

  What a great idea!! I wish I had known about this a long time ago – like many others, I’ve had to sew on lots of buttons. Great tip!

  I’m thinking back to sewing on buttons and snaps yesterday and how it took me forever. This is a great idea that I’d never thought of!

  Wow, that’s a great idea with more threads in one needle!
