To get a nice smooth edge for your covered buttons, run a gathering thread around the outer edge of the fabric circle. Then place the curved metal button top in the center of the. slightly cupped circle and gently pull the thread. This will gather the fabric around the button very nicely. Now, make a couple of small stitches to secure your gathers, clip the thread and secure the metal button back in place. This method will save you a ton of frustration also.

Thank you, Marilyn Godfrey. The photos showed buttons that were NOT smoothly covered. It’s amazing to me, that some people who publish tutorials actually do such a poor job. The shown steps did not add anything of value to the steps on the package.
