English term or phrase: buttonhole-twist thread
Definition from Oxford Dictionary:
A type of strong thread used for securing and reinforcing the edges of a buttonhole.

Example sentence(s):
  • 100% silk buttonhole twist is imported from Japan. It is a soft, three-ply, silk filament thread that is perfect for making hand-made buttonholes and other fine tailoring techniques. In addition to tailoring, this luxurious silk thread can be used for many other fine needle arts. Britex Fabrics
  • Top stitching may require heavier thread to make it stand out. Buttonhole twist usually works well in matching or contrasting colors. Use cotton thread in the bobbin and increase the stitch length for top stitching. The St. Augustine Record
  • Buttonhole twist is a strong, lustrous silk about three times the diameter of normal sewing silk, and is used for hand-worked buttonholes, for sewing on buttons, and for various decorative effects. Britannica

Linha de caseado de seda


Definition from Blog sobre costura:
Segundo pesquisas com costureiras e em sites sobre costura, descobri que a tradução seria "linha de caseado de seda". Porém, por ser uma linha difícil de se achar no Brasil, costureiras usam a linha de pesponto para fazer casas de botões.

Example sentence(s):
  • Os materiais ideais para fazer as casas eu nunca encontrei para vender aqui, então uso linha de pesponto no lugar de linha de caseado de seda, e linha de pesponto, novamente, no lugar do reforço, um “enchimento” que fica por dentro dos pontos. A linha deve ser encerada com cera de abelha. - Blog  

Explanation:
Como mencionado anteriormente, a tradução seria "linha de caseado de seda". Porém, por ser uma linha de difícil acesso no Brasil, para domesticarmos e localizarmos, talvez seja necessário usar a tradução 'linha de pesponto" por também ser uma linha forte e utilizada para fazer casas de botões.

No  Lara de Almeida Barbosa: Segundo minha mãe, que é costureira, linha de caseado é correto; a linha, porém, não é necessariamente de seda, esse é só um reflexo do primeiro exemplo dado. Sendo assim, acredito que buttonhole-twist thread seria apenas linha de caseado.
