FAQs
What size are these buttons?
These buttons are 13.75mm in diameter, which is equivalent to 22 Lignes.
How many buttons are included in the pack?
Each pack contains 6 individual buttons.
Are these buttons safe for baby clothing?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, making them suitable for garments intended for children.
Can I put the storage box in direct sunlight?
While the box provides UV protection, it is always best practice to store sewing notions in a cool, dark place to preserve the color and material integrity.
Are these buttons machine washable?
Yes, they are designed for standard laundry cycles, though using a garment bag is recommended to protect the buttons and the fabric.
Is the shank metal or plastic?
The buttons are crafted as a single-piece design appropriate for general haberdashery applications.
Troubleshooting
Button sits too tightly against fabric
When sewing, create a thread shank by leaving a small gap between the button and the fabric before wrapping the thread around the stitches.
Thread keeps snapping at the shank
Use a heavy-duty or button-hole thread and ensure the shank eyelet is free of any sharp plastic burrs before attaching.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Convenient clip-top storage container
- UV-protected and dust-free packaging
- Non-toxic construction safe for varied apparel
- Classic design fits diverse fabric types
Cons
- Specific baby blue color may be hard to match to pre-existing garments
- Pack size of 6 may be insufficient for large projects requiring a full set
- Shank buttons may not be ideal for ultra-thin or delicate fabrics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, use a standard sewing needle and matching polyester thread. Pass the thread through the shank multiple times, reinforcing the base with a small wrap of thread to ensure the button stands upright. For care, these buttons are designed to be durable, but it is recommended to wash the garment inside out or use a laundry mesh bag to prevent the buttons from catching on other items during machine washing. Store any unused buttons in the provided clip-top box to maintain their finish and prevent UV-related discoloration over time.
