Abstract
A sewing system for attaching or re-attaching buttons is provided. Embodiments of the sewing system have a single- or multi-strand thread of one to ten woven threads, the threads having a length of at least one inch with one needle pre-attached, terminating in free strands, an opposing end securement, or two needles attached to opposing ends of the thread. The appearance of a professionally sewn button is provided while eliminating the need to make multiple passes through the button holes and fabric.
Claims22
A sewing system for securing a button to fabric, said system comprising:
- a sewing needle attached to a first segment of joined thread by crimping, gluing, heat affixing, friction affixing, cinching, or standard threading and knotting;
- a middle segment of free thread strands extending from said first segment, said middle segment of unwoven thread strands are sized to be threaded through a series of button holes in said button and provides the appearance of separate multi-threads securing the button, while eliminating the need to make multiple passes through the button holes and the fabric for each individual unwoven strand of said middle segment;
- and
- a securement or free strands at a distal end of a third segment extending from said middle segment, said securement or said free strands for securing the button to the fabric, wherein said securement is one of:
- a knot of the threads, an adhesive, a solidified polymer bead, fused synthetic fibers, a collet, or a combination thereof.
A sewing system for securing a button to fabric, said system comprising:
- a sewing needle attached to a first segment of joined thread made of a polymer treated to create said sewing needle;
- a middle segment of free thread strands extending from said first segment, said middle segment of unwoven thread strands are sized to be threaded through a series of button holes in said button and provides the appearance of separate multi-threads securing the button, while eliminating the need to make multiple passes through the button holes and the fabric for each individual unwoven strand of said middle segment;
- and
- a securement or free strands at a distal end of a third segment extending from said middle segment, said securement or said free strands for securing the button to the fabric, wherein said securement is one of:
- a knot of the threads, an adhesive, a solidified polymer bead, fused synthetic fibers, a collet, or a combination thereof.
A sewing system for securing a button, said system comprising:
- a first straight or curved sewing needle attached to a first segment of thread by crimping, gluing, heat affixing, friction affixing, cinching, or standard threading and knotting;
- a middle segment of unwoven thread strands extending from said first segment;
- a second straight or curved sewing needle attached at a distal end of a third segment or directly from said middle segment;
- said middle segment of unwoven thread strands are threaded through a series of button holes in the button and provides the appearance of separate multi-threads securing the button, while eliminating the need to make multiple passes through the button holes and garment or fabric for each individual unwoven strand of said middle segment.
