Embroidered Covered Buttons: Embroidering the Buttons

Center the circles in your embroidery hoop and pull the fabric tight like a drum.

Thread your embroidery needle with an 18" length of embroidery thread. You do not want to add any bulk behind the embroidery so just tie the simplest of knots at the end of the thread.

Now, using a simple back stitch, embroider the flowers. If you are new to embroidery check out our Embroidery Tutorial.

After the embroidery is done pull your thread through your work on the back and snip the thread. There is no need to tie a knot.

One you have six embroideries that you're happy with you'll be ready for the next step.
