FAQs
What is the diameter of these buttons?
These buttons are 13.75mm, which is equivalent to 22 Lignes.
How many buttons are included in the pack?
Each pack contains 6 high-quality buttons.
Are these buttons safe for children's clothing?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials.
Can I use these on heavy wool coats?
While the shank is sturdy, these are best suited for knitwear, cardigans, and light-to-medium weight garments rather than heavy-duty outerwear.
How should I store them to keep the color bright?
Store them in the included clip-top box and keep the box out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent UV fading.
Troubleshooting
Button shank feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have wrapped the thread around the base of the shank before tying off the knot to provide additional stability.
Thread keeps snapping during attachment
Use a thicker gauge buttonhole thread and ensure the needle eye is large enough to prevent the thread from fraying.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure shank attachment for better drape on thick fabrics
- Convenient, reusable storage box included
- High-quality non-toxic materials
- Easy to clean and maintain
Cons
- Limited size variety within the pack
- Specific lilac color may not suit all fabric patterns
- Not suitable for heavy-duty outerwear like winter coats
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons, ensure you use a sturdy polyester or cotton-wrapped thread. Because they have a shank, you do not need to leave a thread shank space between the button and the fabric as you would with flat buttons.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable, but it is recommended to turn garments inside out or use a laundry bag to prevent surface scratching.
- Storage: Always return unused buttons to the provided clip-top box and store away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the lilac finish.
- Ironing: Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as the plastic material may melt or warp if exposed to extreme heat.
