Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Basic Toggle Buttons are designed for sewing enthusiasts and DIY crafters looking for a reliable, classic fastener for garments, bags, or decorative projects. These 26.5mm rectangular toggles offer a secure closure and a clean white aesthetic, making them ideal for a wide range of fabric types; however, because they are made of plastic, they are better suited for light-to-medium weight projects rather than heavy-duty outdoor gear or high-tension applications.

Thread fraying at the button attachment point
Ensure you are using a synthetic polyester thread which is more abrasion-resistant than cotton for button application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply these toggles, ensure you have a sturdy needle and matching thread to accommodate the eyelets on the toggles. When sewing onto fabric, use a double-thread method to ensure the button remains secure after repeated use.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: These buttons are machine washable, though it is recommended to turn the garment inside out or place it in a laundry bag to prevent the plastic from scratching against the drum.
- Ironing: Avoid pressing a hot iron directly onto the buttons, as extreme heat may warp or melt the plastic. Always iron around the toggle area or use a pressing cloth.
- Storage: Always return unused toggles to their clip-top storage box. Keeping them away from direct sunlight and dust preserves the plastic's structural integrity over time.
