FAQs
Are these buttons safe for baby clothes?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, but ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent potential choking hazards.
What does 22 Lignes mean?
Ligne is a traditional unit of measurement for buttons. 22 Lignes is equivalent to approximately 13.75mm.
Can these buttons be ironed?
It is best to avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as high temperatures can melt or warp the plastic.
Does the storage box come with every pack?
Yes, every pack includes the signature Hemline clip-top storage box.
Can I use these on a coat?
They are designed for lighter fabrics and may be too small or visually out of place on heavy wool coats.
Troubleshooting
Button thread keeps snapping
Ensure you are using a double-strand of polyester thread and verify that you are not pulling the thread too tight against the garment fabric.
Button is loose in the buttonhole
Check your machine settings; a 13.75mm button requires a specific buttonhole size. If the hole is too large, use a slightly tighter stitch pattern.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these buttons, use a standard needle and high-quality sewing thread that matches your fabric. Because they are 13.75mm in diameter, ensure your sewing machine's buttonhole setting is adjusted to accommodate a 22-ligne button to prevent loose fitting.
Care instructions are included on the retail packaging. It is recommended to wash garments featuring these buttons inside out to prevent the plastic edges from catching on other items in the wash. Keep the buttons in their provided clip-top storage box when not in use to ensure they do not become brittle or discolored from prolonged UV exposure.
