The button shank plate is ideal for making a shank when sewing on a button. When attaching buttons to thicker fabric, such as when making a coat or tailored jacket, you need to make a 'shank' for the button to prevent it from pulling on the fabric. The Janome Button Shank Plate is ideal for this task. When sewing on the button, the Shank Plate is placed between the button and the fabric.

An ideal solution.
