Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Round Shank Buttons are an essential choice for sewing enthusiasts and professionals looking for a reliable, clean finishing touch for garments like blouses. These 11.25mm white dome buttons provide a classic, minimalist aesthetic that suits a wide variety of fabrics and styles; however, users should note that they are specifically shanked, which requires a slightly different attachment technique compared to flat two-hole buttons.

FAQs
What size are these buttons?
These buttons measure 11.25mm, which corresponds to 18 lignes.
Are these buttons safe for children's clothing?
Yes, they are non-toxic, but always ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent choking hazards.
How many buttons come in a pack?
Each pack contains 6 individual shank buttons.
Can I use these on heavy jackets?
These are primarily designed for blouses and shirts; they may be too small or visually out of place on heavy outerwear.
How should I store them?
Store them in their original Hemline clip-top box to protect them from dust, moisture, and UV light.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure the thread has been looped through the shank eyelet multiple times and knotted securely on the underside of the fabric.
Fabric puckering around the button
Use a backing button or a small piece of stabilizer on the underside of the fabric to distribute the tension more evenly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Clean and subtle white finish fits almost any color palette
- Clip-top storage box prevents loss and UV damage
- Ideal size for blouses and lightweight tops
- High-quality construction ensures longevity of the shank
Cons
- Pack size of 6 may be insufficient for full garment projects
- Shanked buttons can be slightly more difficult to align than flat buttons
- Not suitable for very heavy-weight coats or thick outerwear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons, use a sturdy needle and thread matched to your fabric weight. Since these are shank buttons, avoid sewing directly through the center; instead, pass your needle through the eyelet of the shank securely to the fabric. For care, these buttons are durable but should be laundered in a garment bag if used on delicate items to prevent snagging. Always store the unused buttons in the provided Hemline clip-top box to prevent UV degradation and potential discolouration over long periods of storage.
