German Button Class Session 6

This is session 7 of the button class using the book "Posamentenknöpfe" ISBN 978-3-934113-13-8. The entire book is in German. The title translates to trimming buttons. As part of the learning process, there was a whole new lingo to learn.

Tour is the set(s) of wraps - so 2 tours is generally a cross shape.

Gimlet is a button tool used to hold the button in place while wrapping.

Top Row:
