FAQs
What is the diameter of these buttons?
These buttons measure 13.75mm in diameter.
Are these buttons suitable for heavy-duty winter coats?
While they are durable, 13.75mm is generally considered a small to medium size, which is better suited for knitwear, shirts, and blouses rather than thick wool coats.
Does the pack include needles or thread?
No, the pack includes only the six buttons and the storage box.
Are the buttons machine washable?
Yes, they are designed to withstand regular washing cycles.
What is a shank button?
A shank button has a loop or protrusion on the back through which the thread is sewn, rather than holes directly through the face of the button.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
The thread shank may be too long. Use fewer wraps of thread around the base of the shank or pull the thread tighter during the initial attachment.
Fabric bunches up behind the button
Ensure the buttonhole is sized correctly for a 13.75mm button. If the buttonhole is too small, the fabric will pucker.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable shank construction prevents fabric pulling
- Compact clip-top storage box included for organization
- Classic black finish matches a wide variety of fabric colors
- Non-toxic materials ensure safety for all users
Cons
- Fixed diameter of 13.75mm may not suit heavy coats
- Requires needle-and-thread skill to sew on the shank
- Set of six may not be enough for full-length coat repairs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach these buttons, ensure you use a strong thread, ideally matching the fabric color. Pass the needle through the shank loop multiple times to anchor it securely. If attaching to delicate fabric, consider using a small backing button on the inside of the garment to distribute weight and prevent the fabric from tearing.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: The buttons are durable enough for machine washing; however, turning the garment inside out or using a laundry bag is recommended to protect the buttons from abrasion.
- Ironing: Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, as this may scratch or warp the button surface.
- Storage: Always return unused buttons to the provided clip-top box to prevent loss and keep them free of debris.
