FAQs
Are these buttons dishwasher safe?
These buttons are designed for garment and haberdashery use, not for dishwasher-safe applications.
Can these be dry cleaned?
Yes, these buttons are suitable for standard dry cleaning processes.
What is the exact size in lignes?
These buttons are 28 lignes (approximately 17.5mm).
Are these suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, they are non-toxic, but please ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent potential choking hazards.
How should I store them to keep the color vibrant?
Keep them in the provided clip-top storage box to prevent dust accumulation and UV-induced fading.
Can I use these on heavy-weight fabrics?
While they can be attached to various fabrics, their 17.5mm size is optimized for light to medium-weight materials.
Troubleshooting
Button creates an uneven finish on the fabric
Ensure the button is centered correctly over the buttonhole mark before stitching, using a stabilizer on the backside of the fabric if the material is too thin.
Button fits too tightly in the buttonhole
Adjust your sewing machine's stitch width settings to slightly enlarge the buttonhole or use a buttonhole cutter to manually refine the opening length.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant pearlescent finish with professional crimped detailing
- Comes in a reusable, high-quality clip-top storage container
- Non-toxic materials ensure safety for wearable items
- Standard 17.5mm size fits most sewing machine buttonholes
Cons
- Four-pack quantity may be insufficient for full-front shirts
- Color is limited to lavender, restricting versatility compared to neutral options
- Slightly bulkier than flat buttons due to the fancy edge design
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, verify your sewing machine's buttonhole setting matches the 17.5mm diameter of the button. For manual attachment, use a standard polyester or cotton-wrapped thread to match the garment fabric. While the buttons are durable, it is recommended to turn garments inside out before machine washing to protect the pearlescent finish from scratching against the drum. Store the unused buttons in the provided Hemline clip-top box to prevent oxidation or discoloration from UV exposure over long periods. When replacing a lost button, ensure the thread shank is tight enough to prevent the button from flopping forward, but loose enough to allow the fabric to slide easily behind it during fastening.
