Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, use a standard needle and thread appropriate for the weight of your garment. When securing, ensure the thread passes through the button eyelets multiple times to create a sturdy foundation. For ongoing care, the buttons are designed for durability, but it is recommended to turn garments inside out before machine washing to prevent the buttons from snagging on other items or being damaged by the drum. The included clip-top box should be stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the clarity of the material over time.
