Abstract
A button holder for holding different sized buttons while underneath a presser foot of a sewing machine to assure a firm hold and accurate placement of the hole relative to the needle to prevent breakage of the latter. The holder comprises essentially a strip of material having a plurality of different sized holes for accommodating the particular button sizes. Slits are provided at both ends of the strip extending from the outermost holes to allow movement of the threaded needle and avoid the necessity of cutting the thread after sewing on the button, permitting the sewing of another button.
