Life saver! This is my first KZbin commentary. I had a tufted button loose on our family sofa for 7 years! I hate it and even contemplated buying another sofa. Finally found the courage to fix myself. I used the DIY substitute German needle. Thank you so much! I got my sofa back!!!❤❤❤

Great idea, I tried with the washer but could not get it to hold. But you got me thinking... I took a white plastic drywall anchor, drilled a hole through the middle for the string and sharpened the point. I screwed this into the back of the couch stuffing through the hole and it held! Happy dance! Thanks for helping me solve how to fix.

Aw man this worked so much better. “Plastic wall anchors”. That thing actually stuck inside when you pull the thread.

Great tip, but the tufting was present in your video and all that needed to be done was re-attach the button. What do you do if the fabric popped out, too? My daughter just inherited a new sofa and one of the tufts is out (with the button still attached to the fabric). 😔

I used a modification on your technique on an inexpensive chair that my daughter really loves. The button was dangling loose so I cut the thread holding it only to find out that the backing was too thin to hold the washer (kind of like cotton balls thickness.) So, I found a piece of dowel about 3 inches long and drilled a hole in the middle. I threaded the nylon twine thru the hole and pushed the dowel into the hole past the backing so it would turn sideways. Then I just followed your slipknot process and it worked fine. Thanks for the inspiration!

@snakeplisskenish Жыл бұрын
Okay, so I've done the popped button on the ottoman. It's somewhat loose though. The main problem is that the clasp has nothing to anchor behind. I inserted it as deep as the tufting needle would go, but when I pull on the thread it just brings the clasp to the surface. So the clasp is anchored directly behind the leather rather than deep in the stuffing. Seems I'll be unable to restore it to that punched look. I'm open to any tips from anyone.

When you talk about a "German needle" are you referring to a C.S.Osborne #417 tufting needle? The 417 is a device that places a small metal clasp with a cord attached behind all the webbing? They sound like the same thing just different names in different areas, I assume.
