Troubleshooting
Buttonholes seem too small for thread
Use a finer needle and thread. Ensure the thread is not frayed.
Pearlescent finish dulls after washing
Ensure you are handwashing with cool water and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged soaking. Air dry instead of using a machine dryer.
Button feels loose after sewing
Re-stitch the button, ensuring more stitches are used and they are pulled taut. Consider using a thread with a bit more grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These buttons require standard sewing techniques. To attach, thread a needle with suitable sewing thread, loop it through the buttonholes, and secure it firmly to the fabric with multiple stitches. Ensure the stitches are tight enough to hold the button securely but not so tight as to damage the fabric or the buttonholes.
Compatibility: These buttons are compatible with most common fabric types, from lightweight silks and cottons to medium-weight wools and blends. They are best suited for apparel, accessories, and decorative craft projects. Avoid using them on extremely heavy or rigid materials where they might be strained.
Care: Handwashing is recommended for garments featuring these buttons to preserve the pearlescent finish. Use cool or lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the buttons. If machine washing is necessary, place the garment inside a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry the garment; avoid high heat from dryers as it may affect the button's finish.
