FAQs
What does 18 lignes mean?
Lignes is the standard unit of measurement for buttons. 18 lignes is equivalent to approximately 11.25mm.
Are these buttons suitable for heavy coats?
These 11.25mm buttons are best suited for shirts, blouses, skirts, and dresses. They are generally too small for heavy winter coat buttonholes.
Can these buttons be ironed?
While the buttons are durable, it is recommended to avoid direct contact with a hot iron to prevent potential warping or surface damage.
How many buttons come in the package?
Each pack contains 5 buttons.
Are these buttons safe to use on baby clothes?
Yes, they are made of non-toxic materials, making them safe for children's clothing.
What is the benefit of the shank design?
The shank allows the button to sit slightly higher off the fabric, creating room for the fabric to tuck underneath when buttoned, which prevents puckering.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have wrapped the thread around the base of the shank several times to create a firm anchor before knotting.
Button does not fit through the buttonhole
Verify that the buttonhole was designed for 11.25mm (18 lignes) buttons. If the hole is too small, use a seam ripper to carefully extend the opening.
Thread snaps during attachment
Use a heavy-duty sewing thread or a double-strand of standard thread to ensure the shank is securely fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons, ensure you use a strong polyester or cotton-covered polyester thread to accommodate the shank loop. Thread the needle through the eye of the shank and secure it firmly to the fabric using a "thread shank" technique if the fabric is thick, providing enough clearance for the buttonhole to close properly. These buttons are machine washable, though it is recommended to turn garments inside out or use a laundry bag to prevent the buttons from catching on other items during the spin cycle.
