HI i noticed no one had responded to your question about buttons and thread.  I just went into my MMS and Found the buttons and thread.  You can layer them.  Put your button on the page and the add the thread over top.  YOu can adjust until they sit on the holes the way you want them to.  I wasn't crazy about that look because there are the 4 stitches that go around the outside of the button.  You can put the thread underneath also but you do not get the same effect.

 

I also suggest you ask this question on the facebook page there are many more people there and they respond pretty quickly.

 

Hope this makes sense and work the way you want.

Thanks so much for the help.

Is there another way to thread the buttons?  Why was the thread made that way?

Is there thread in any of the kits?

 

Thanks

Kim

Hi Kim - each designer creates the embellishments in his or her kit in the way they wish for it to look - there really isn't a "right way" or "wrong way" to do that.  Some programs allow you to clip and relayer the items to make them appear to pass through each other.  Another way around this is to layer a button or thread over the other, then add an additional button or flower or some other embellishment over the buttonholes to hide the actual threading area.  Clustering and layering can hide those little things like that in a very pleasing way.  At this time, it's not possible to manipulate the thread in such a way in MMS that it actually "threads" through the holes in the button.

If there is anything I can help with or you need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me directly!
