FAQs
What size are these buttons?
These buttons are 11.25mm in diameter, which is equivalent to 18 lignes.
Are these buttons safe for children's clothes?
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 the pack?
There are 7 buttons included in each pack.
Can these be dry cleaned?
The materials are generally compatible with standard dry cleaning, but verify your garment's specific care label first.
Are they suitable for heavy fabrics like denim?
These are designed for blouses and lighter garments; they may not be robust enough for heavy-duty denim or thick outerwear.
How do I prevent the buttons from yellowing?
Keep them stored in the provided clip-top box away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Use a thicker thread or double the thread through the shank eyelet to create a tighter, more reinforced attachment.
Button shank is difficult to pass through thread
Use a thinner beading needle or a needle threader to guide the needle through the shank eyelet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these shank buttons, use a sturdy needle and polyester-blend thread for maximum longevity. Because these are shank-style, they should be sewn through the eyelet located at the base of the dome, allowing the button to sit slightly above the surface of the fabric. The buttons are machine washable, but it is recommended to turn garments inside out or use a laundry mesh bag to prevent the buttons from snagging or striking the drum of your washing machine. Always store the unused buttons in the provided clip-top box to prevent oxidation or potential yellowing from direct UV light exposure.
