FAQs
What size needle should I use?
Use a needle appropriate for your fabric. A size 7 or 8 needle is suitable for most fabrics. For delicate fabrics, use a smaller needle, such as size 9 or 10.
Can I iron over these buttons?
It is best to avoid ironing directly over the buttons. If necessary, iron the garment inside out or place a cloth over the buttons to protect them.
Are these buttons suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, but ensure the buttons are securely sewn on, and supervise children to prevent them from detaching and swallowing them.
Can I use these buttons on heavy fabrics like denim?
Yes, but you may need to use a stronger needle and thread to ensure secure attachment. Consider using a denim needle and heavy-duty thread.
How do I store the extra buttons?
Store the buttons in a dry, safe place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A small container or a dedicated sewing kit compartment is ideal.
What if I need more than five buttons?
You can purchase multiple packs of buttons to meet your project's needs.
Troubleshooting
Button detaches from fabric.
Re-sew the button, ensuring the thread is knotted securely and the stitches are tight. Consider using a stronger thread or reinforcing the fabric where the button is attached.
Gold finish appears dull or worn.
Gently clean the button with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. If severely worn, consider replacing the button.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Thread your needle with a thread that matches your fabric color.
- Position the button on the fabric where you want it to be.
- Insert the needle through the fabric and the button shank, and then back through the fabric.
- Repeat this process several times to securely attach the button.
- Create a small thread shank between the button and the fabric for ease of use.
- Tie off the thread securely on the back of the fabric.
Compatibility
These buttons are compatible with a wide variety of fabrics, including cotton, linen, silk, wool, and synthetic blends. However, the weight and texture of the fabric may influence the choice of thread and the method of attachment. For delicate fabrics, use a finer needle and thread.
Care
To maintain the button's appearance:
- Hand wash garments with buttons whenever possible.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- If machine washing, turn the garment inside out and place it in a laundry bag to protect the buttons.
- Store garments with buttons in a dry place to prevent tarnishing.
