The thread port is the opening on the table (face) of a button through which thread or other fastening material is run in order to attach the button to a garment. It is important that the opening be smooth and semi-rounded so that the thread doesn't fray or break. It is sometimes referred to as the culp-hole in honor of the artist who first named this important orifice.
