2-HOLED BUTTONS

1. What Are 2-Holed Buttons? 

Two-holed buttons have two holes which are usually sewn parallel to the garment's fabric as seen in the image below.

 

2. Stitching Styles

Two-holed buttons only need a basic parallel stitch - straight lines between the two holes.

3. When to use 2-Holed Buttons

They can be used on lightweight fabrics, children's wear, casual tops, and anything where there isn't much tension. Use a 4-holed button if you think you need something stronger.
