FAQs
What type of projects are these buttons best suited for?
These buttons are ideal for dressmaking, children's clothing, costumes, craft projects, embellishing accessories like bags or hats, and general decorative sewing.
How many buttons are in a pack?
The exact quantity varies by pack, but they are sold as a value pack designed to provide a sufficient number for multiple projects. Please check the product packaging for specific counts.
Can these buttons be used as functional closures?
They can function as closures for lightweight garments or decorative fastenings. For heavy-duty fastening needs, sturdier button types may be more appropriate.
Are the buttons machine washable?
Yes, they are generally machine washable on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to wash them with similar colors and avoid high heat when drying or ironing.
What is the material of the buttons?
The buttons are made from polyester.
How should I iron projects with these buttons?
It is best to avoid ironing directly over the buttons. Iron the fabric around the buttons on a medium heat setting, or turn the fabric inside out to iron.
Troubleshooting
Buttons are difficult to sew through.
Ensure you are using a sharp needle appropriate for the fabric. If sewing by machine, check that the needle size is suitable and the thread tension is correct.
Color seems faded after washing.
This is uncommon with polyester. Ensure you are using mild detergents and avoiding excessive bleach. Wash with similar colors and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight if drying outdoors.
Buttons are too large for the intended project.
Consider using them for larger areas or projects where their size is a feature, or explore smaller button options from the Trimits range for more delicate applications.
