Abstract: A method and an apparatus is described for fastening buttons to a textile fabric or the like, with the fastening threads (1) being collected to form a thin bundle beneath said button before said bundle is forced through the fabric (7), so that after the button (2) is fastened it will sit at a certain distance from the fabric with a thin bundle of threads in the middle. Collection of the fastening threads (1) is achieved by threading them into a standard button (2) and providing the button in holding means (3) of the apparatus, thus, to clamp the threads together by movement of clamping means (4). When the fabric (7) is in place the holding means (3) of the apparatus is urged down towards the contact plate and the collected bundle of fastening threads is forced through the fabric (7), down into the contact plate and is forced around, out and up through the fabric again and in towards its own axis. The apparatus is removed and the button is fastened.
