# Since a Shinui isn’t possible when sewing on a bottom, it’s still permissible if one sews it on loosely and only uses 2 out of 4 holes (even the diagonal ones), while others say not to sew on a button at all. <Ref> Hilchot Chol HaMoed Zichron Shlomo (pg 14) quotes Rav Yacov Kamenetsky and the Debrinsiner Rav who allow if the action is significantly changed such as it’s loose and one only sews it through 2 holes. Hilchot Chol HaMoed continues to quote Rav Moshe Feinstein who forbids unless there’s no other clothes to wear. </ref>
