FAQs
What kind of fabric are these buttons best suited for?
These buttons work well with lightweight to medium-weight fabrics, such as cotton, linen, and blends.
Can I iron directly over these buttons?
It's best to avoid ironing directly over the buttons. Use a pressing cloth if necessary, or iron the garment inside out.
How do I choose the right size button?
Choose a button size that complements the fabric weight and the buttonhole size. Consider the overall design of the garment.
Are these buttons machine washable?
Yes, but it's recommended to use a gentle cycle and consider washing the garment inside out.
What is the shank for?
The shank creates space between the button and the fabric, allowing the fabric to sit correctly without pulling the garment.
How do I attach the button?
Use a needle and thread, passing the needle through the shank. Make sure the thread is strong and knotted securely.
Troubleshooting
Button is loose after washing.
Re-sew the button, ensuring the thread is secure and knotted well.
Color fading after some time
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Wash the garment inside out to reduce wear and tear.
