Chair Quilted Stud Fix

[freddiemercurystwin]

So we have a chair in the house, it's quilted velvet with studs, one of the studs has been pulled out by getting snagged on someones clothing or something, I need some ideas how to stick it back in effectively. My only ideas are either a glue gun to just glue it in place or to attach a thin weight to a small length of string and attach that to the eyelet on the back of the stud, push the weight and string into the material hole and gravity will hold the stud in. Any other ideas?

Good:



Bad:

Probably have to glue it somehow...

You’d normally gain access to the back of the chair.
Use twine and a huge needle.
My mum used to upholster stuff years ago.

You can also try an upholsterers needle which is massive and curved.
The button should have a hoop on the back

There's no access to the back, this is a mass produced B&Q special it's completely sealed/sewn up. The button does have a hoop on the back, though I called it an eyelet in my OP.

You could darn it back in if you have sewing skills, failing that rotate until any slack is taken up on the current thread which will pull it in tight and add glue to secure with a weight on top till fixed.

YouTube to the rescue again! For now anyway, turns out the hole in the seam is about 3/4" long, ideally I would have sewn that up first but I couldn't be bothered, so I used a large washer also about 3/4" but I just left it flat rather than bending it as per his video, hopefully gravity will hold the washer down so it won't fall out.
