Troubleshooting
Button thread keeps snapping
Ensure the thread is not being pulled too tight during attachment; use a toothpick between the button and fabric to create a small gap (shank) before securing.
Button is difficult to pass through the buttonhole
Check if the buttonhole is sized correctly for an 18mm button; if necessary, adjust the buttonhole length using a seam ripper and re-sew the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hemline buttons, use a standard needle and high-quality polyester or cotton sewing thread. When attaching, double-check the tension of your thread to avoid pulling the button too tightly against the fabric. Regarding care, these buttons are designed to be durable through regular wash cycles, but it is recommended to turn garments inside out or use a laundry bag to prevent the star points from catching on other clothing. Always store the unused buttons in their provided clip-top box to maintain their white finish and protect them from prolonged UV exposure which can lead to discoloration over time.
