FAQs
What is the diameter of these buttons?
These buttons measure 17.5mm, which is equivalent to 28 lignes.
Are these buttons safe for children's clothing?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, but always ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent choking hazards.
How many buttons come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 buttons.
Can these buttons be machine washed?
Yes, they are durable, though turning the garment inside out is recommended to protect the finish.
What should I use to store the buttons?
The buttons come in a convenient clip-top storage box that should be used to keep them clean and protected from UV light.
Troubleshooting
Button is loose after sewing
Ensure you have used a strong, color-matched polyester thread and add a small 'shank' of thread underneath the button to provide clearance for the fabric thickness.
Buttonhole is too tight
If the 17.5mm button is slightly too snug, consider using a seam ripper to carefully extend the existing buttonhole by 1-2mm, then secure the edges with a blanket stitch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, align the buttonholes with the desired fabric placement and use a standard needle and thread. When washing garments featuring these buttons, it is recommended to turn the item inside out or use a laundry bag to prevent scratching. Keep the buttons inside their provided clip-top box when not in use to maintain the integrity of the finish and protect them from direct UV sunlight, which can cause fading over long periods.
