Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Wrap your thread around the shank multiple times before tying off to create a 'neck' that stabilizes the button.
Button does not fit through the buttonhole
Verify the buttonhole length; if the buttonhole is too short, you may need to manually extend it slightly with a seam ripper and re-stitch the ends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal setup, ensure your buttonhole length is appropriate for a 21mm diameter button. These buttons feature a shank back, which should be sewn with a sturdy thread lock to minimize wiggle. Regarding care, while the plastic construction is durable, it is recommended to turn garments inside out before machine washing to prevent the buttons from chipping against the drum of the washer or dryer. Keep the buttons inside the provided clip-top storage box when not in use to avoid losing individual pieces or scratching the white finish.
