FAQs
Are these buttons made of plastic or metal?
These Hemline Novelty Heart Buttons are constructed from durable, high-quality plastic suitable for various crafting applications.
Can I use these buttons on heavy denim?
While they can be attached to denim, they are small decorative buttons and may not hold heavy-duty closures reliably. They are best used as decorative accents on denim pockets or cuffs.
How many buttons are included in the pack?
Each pack includes 7 individual heart-shaped buttons.
What does 13 lignes mean?
Lignes is a unit of measurement used in the button industry. 13 lignes is equivalent to approximately 8mm in diameter.
Are these buttons safe for children's clothing?
While they are charming for kids' clothing, please ensure they are sewn on securely. As with all small buttons, they can pose a choking hazard to very young children if they become detached.
Troubleshooting
The button shank is too small to fit the needle.
Use a finer, sharp hand-sewing needle or a small-gauge sewing thread to ensure it passes through the shank loop easily.
The button feels loose after sewing.
Wrap your thread around the base of the shank several times before knotting it off; this creates a 'neck' that keeps the button stable.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adorable and unique heart-shaped design
- Easy to sew on thanks to the shank attachment
- Perfect size for detailed accent work
- High-quality finish for professional-looking crafts
Cons
- Limited to one size (8mm)
- Small size may be difficult to handle for those with limited dexterity
- Not intended for heavy-duty load-bearing fasteners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Use a standard hand-sewing needle and matching polyester thread. Thread the needle through the shank loop and secure it firmly to the base fabric.
- Compatibility: These buttons work best on light to medium-weight woven fabrics, such as cotton, linen, or poly-blends. They may be too small for very chunky knitted fabrics.
- Care: To keep these buttons looking their best, we recommend hand-washing garments they are attached to or using a mesh laundry bag on a gentle machine cycle to prevent the shank from catching on other items.
