There is always at least one wooden toothpick in with my hand appliqué
project. They are very useful for poking in corners, because the wood
seems to "grab" the little thread ends and get them in place better
than
the needle does.

Only way to go. Set zigzag the width of the holes in your burron.
Lockstitch at beginning and at end. Hine. Use scotch tape to hold the
button perfectly in place. The button will be easier to fasten if you
don't sew it on too tightly. Laying a stiletto or toothpick between the
holes will leave a thread shaft. Enjoy!
