These Trimits Polyester Shank Buttons in Lilac are ideal for dressmaking enthusiasts and crafters seeking a quality fastening solution. Their primary benefit lies in their lovely quality polyester construction, offering durability and a smooth finish for garments.

These buttons are made from quality polyester.
You attach them by sewing through the eye of the shank with a needle and thread, securing them firmly to the fabric.
Yes, they are suitable for children's clothing, provided they are securely attached. Always ensure buttons are sewn on firmly to prevent detachment.
It is generally best to avoid ironing directly over the buttons. Iron the fabric around the buttons on the reverse side at a temperature suitable for polyester.
Shank buttons create a neat finish and allow the fabric to lie flat, as the button sits slightly raised from the material, preventing undue stress.
Follow the garment's care label. Machine washing on a gentle cycle is usually acceptable, but hand washing is recommended for maximum longevity.
Reinforce with additional stitches through the shank. Ensure the thread is strong and knotted securely at the back.
Ensure the needle is sharp and the thread is not frayed. Use a good quality sewing thread. Check the shank for any rough edges, although this is uncommon with quality polyester buttons.
Consider using the button for a different project or as a decorative accent rather than a primary closure. Ordering a sample or checking color swatches beforehand is recommended for future projects.
Setup:
These buttons are designed for sewing directly onto fabric. To attach, thread a needle with strong sewing thread, pass it through the eye of the shank, and then through the fabric. Make several stitches, passing through the shank eye and fabric multiple times to ensure a secure hold. Use a thread color that complements your fabric or the button.
Compatibility:
Trimits Polyester Shank Buttons are compatible with most woven and knit fabrics suitable for dressmaking. They are best suited for light to medium-weight materials. Avoid using them on very heavy fabrics where a stronger closure might be needed, or on extremely delicate fabrics where the shank's pressure might cause damage.
Care:
These buttons can generally be machine washed and dried, following the care instructions for the fabric they are attached to. For best results and longevity, hand washing or using a gentle cycle in a wash bag is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat during washing and drying.
