Full details
The Hemline Polka Dot Buttons are an excellent choice for hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts looking to add a playful, vintage-inspired aesthetic to their sewing projects. These 17.5mm buttons are ideal for customizing children's clothing, cardigans, or craft projects, offering both durability and charm.

Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have used a sturdy thread and created a 'thread shank' between the fabric and the button to allow for closure thickness.
Button does not fit through existing hole
Verify the buttonhole size; if the buttonhole is too small, you may need to adjust the stitching of the buttonhole slightly using a seam ripper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these buttons, use a standard needle and thread suited to the fabric of your garment. Ensure the thread matches the color of the button or the fabric to create a secure finish. Compatibility is high with standard buttonhole sizes, though it is recommended to test the fit before final sewing. Care is simple: always follow the specific washing instructions provided on the back of the Hemline packaging. It is advisable to turn garments inside out before washing or to use a laundry bag to prevent the buttons from catching on other items or being damaged in the machine.
