FAQs
How many buttons come in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 buttons.
What is the diameter of these buttons?
These buttons measure 15mm, which is equivalent to 24 lignes.
Are these buttons safe to use on children's clothing?
Yes, the buttons are made from non-toxic materials, but always ensure they are sewn on securely to prevent choking hazards.
Can I iron over these buttons?
It is not recommended to press directly over plastic buttons with a hot iron, as it may cause deformation or melting.
Is the storage box dishwasher safe?

Are these buttons suitable for heavy coats?
These are best suited for knitwear, cardigans, and lighter garments rather than heavy-duty outerwear.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have created a thread shank and secured the thread with multiple backstitches or a knot on the reverse side of the fabric.
Button does not fit through the existing buttonhole
Check if the buttonhole has shrunk due to fabric felting; if necessary, carefully widen the buttonhole using a seam ripper or by restitching the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before attaching the buttons, verify that your garment's buttonholes accommodate a 15mm width to ensure a snug fit. Use a sturdy, color-matched thread for attachment. When sewing, ensure you create a small 'thread shank'—a few loops of thread between the garment and the button—to allow the fabric to sit neatly under the button when closed. For care, these buttons are machine washable. When washing garments with these buttons, it is recommended to turn the item inside out or place it in a laundry mesh bag to prevent the buttons from catching on other garments or the drum of the machine.
