I think you're looking for the most durable thread for buttons, not strongest. For literal strongest you can get bullet resistant fabric thread like Kevlar thread and Dyneema, or use fishing line as thread. I suspect each of those has some reason or another that they are less durable for buttons. Dyneema might be the exception because it's more flexible and low friction of all the those, idk how well it would hold a knot though
Your best best for durability is waxed thread like other mentioned.
Thanks. I've got some heavy duty needles from Military Surplus sewing kits, just have run through all the thread that came with them. Never actually have purchased thread on it's own before, and I don't care about looks, just want it to be bomb proof and to not pull off during my daily wear.
Done. But now the next time I need it I'll have to remember it even exists and then dig through the posts in my "How To" folder, assuming the post even stays up long enough. I've had plenty just disappear.
To me, it’s the folding the fabric in half. I’ve always just held the button in place (sometimes poorly) on the front and started the sewing from the back, with a knot in the thread. Then crisscross each hole. Just the simple geometry of the fold kind of stunned me. I’m 64- my elders should have taught me better.
For me it's the loop in the thread that you use to start the procedure rather than tying a knot and starting from underneath. The "only use two holes to fix the button to the fabric" is also new but doesn't seem to be an improvement at all
Yes, saw that. What's different from what I was taught is that she's not going through the material every time, the button is only connected to the material with the top two holes
I think maybe you need to visualize it differently, friend. She's got that bit of fabric folded in half and is going through both halves each time. That takes the place of going through each layer one at a time. When she opens it, there will be both an entrance and exit hole for both halves on the back. The back will have two parrallel bars just like over the top of the button.
That's generally the case with these "face overlaid over original video" turds served as "content". The worst one is if the buffoon with the face just nods and points annoyingly with a stupid smirk on their face. Makes me want to throw my computer away and go live in the forest with squatch.
Yeah when you see those it means you've gone too far in the doomscroll and you need to take a break. Same with the minecraft background as people read reddit comments.
I've noticed that choosing 'do not recommend channel' leads to next 3-5 channels being from same style or with same audio clip. It's like YT considers blocking a channel = interaction. :')
Yep the best way to avoid things you don't like on youtube is to take a break from youtube when those things appear. Plus it is good to take a break from shorts anyways.

you hide the excess inside the fabric? Whoah.

Does this actually give you the right spacing, because I usually use a toothpick or a match.

Now, what's the strongest thread you can buy? I've got some buttons on a surplus military coat I need to fix lol
Popperqueen
or a cheap easy to find alternative is waxed dental floss.

Waxed linen thread is used for leather and it's crazy strong.

Look for ones for use in denim and canvas, they will likely be much stronger than your typical cotton.
Also get sturdy needles, "regular" ones will snap so quickly trying to do that.

I sincerely can’t believe that I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS!
Will I remember to try it next time? No.

...Never thought of what? Cuz all I see is someone sewing a four-hole button on. What did they do that is different for you?

Ah. That's just how I was taught to do it as a kid. And she's going through all four holes, watch again. She's doin a crisscross.

Tried it and it didn't work. Sasquatch wanted nothing to do with me. :(+

Lmk if Squatch is renting other mud huts or caves or whatever.
