Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply these buttons, ensure you use a needle and thread compatible with your fabric weight. Since these are standard shankless buttons, they can be sewn directly through the fabric. For the best longevity, use a double-stranded thread and finish with a secure knot. When storing, always keep the buttons in the provided clip-top box when not in use; this protects them from direct UV rays which can cause color fading over time. To clean garments featuring these buttons, it is recommended to wash the item inside out to prevent the buttons from catching on other clothing or machine drums.
