I use the stitch to attach buttons to tack down the corners and I try to find buttons I like that I can also attach with my machine. Usually I can make the whole fabric box on the machine - no hand stitching. Made one for each month for my sister-in-law this year and also ones using Ohio State fabric for my MIL. I put wrapped candy in the ones I give for gifts.
