Full details
The Hemline Plastic Toggles in blue are an essential accessory for sewists, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, decorative closure for garments or bags. These 26.5mm rectangular toggles provide a secure fastening mechanism and a vibrant pop of color, making them ideal for both functional and aesthetic applications. While they are highly durable and easy to attach, users should note that they are designed specifically for projects where a toggle-style closure is appropriate, rather than standard flat-button applications.

FAQs
Are these toggles suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, making them safe for various garment applications.
How many toggles come in a single pack?
Each pack contains 3 individual blue toggles.
Can I use these on delicate fabrics?
While durable, the weight of a 26.5mm toggle may be too heavy for thin, delicate fabrics like silk; they are best for medium to heavyweight materials.
Is the storage box included?
Yes, each pack comes with a convenient clip-top storage box to keep the toggles organized.
What does 42 lignes mean?
Lignes is a traditional unit of measurement for buttons, where 40 lignes is approximately 1 inch; 42 lignes equals 26.5mm.
Troubleshooting
Toggle is loose after attachment
Ensure you have used a heavy-duty thread and reinforced the backside of the fabric with a small square of interfacing or a backing button.
Loop does not fit over the toggle
Check that the loop material was sized based on the 26.5mm width of the toggle; if the loop is too tight, adjust the loop stitching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Hemline Plastic Toggles should be done using a sturdy thread—such as a buttonhole twist or a heavy-duty polyester thread—to ensure the toggle remains secure through repeated use. Because the toggles are plastic, they are easy to maintain; they can generally be machine-washed when attached to a garment, though it is recommended to turn the item inside out or use a laundry bag to prevent the toggles from banging against the machine drum. Always store the toggles in their original clip-top box when not in use to maintain their vibrant color and prevent scratches from other hardware.
