FAQs
What is the diameter of these buttons?
These buttons measure 16.25mm, which is equivalent to 26 lignes.
How many buttons are included in the pack?
Each pack contains 6 buttons.
Are these buttons safe for children's clothing?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, though always ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent choking hazards.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, they are designed for everyday use, but turning garments inside out is recommended to protect the button finish.
What type of button is this?
This is a round shank button, meaning the attachment point is a loop on the back rather than holes on the face.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have wrapped the thread around the shank base multiple times before tying off, as this secures the button position.
Button does not fit through buttonhole
Check if the buttonhole is properly sized for a 16.25mm button. If the buttonhole is too small, you may need to carefully enlarge it with a seam ripper.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable, non-toxic material composition
- Convenient clip-top storage box prevents loss
- Standard 16.25mm size fits most buttonholes
- UV-protected packaging maintains color integrity
Cons
- Specific lilac color limits matching options
- Shank buttons may require more precision in sewing than flat buttons
- Fixed pack size of 6 may not suit large-scale projects
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons, use a sturdy needle and coordinating thread. Pass the thread through the shank eyelet multiple times to anchor the button firmly, then wrap the thread around the shank itself—between the button and the fabric—to create a 'thread shank' that allows the button to sit comfortably atop the fabric thickness. To maintain the finish, keep the buttons stored in the included clip-top box when not in use to protect them from environmental dust. These buttons are generally laundry-safe, but it is recommended to turn garments inside out or use a laundry bag to prevent the buttons from catching or chipping during machine cycles.
