FAQs
How many buttons are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 buttons.
Can I use these buttons on heavy fabrics?
While the buttons are versatile, they are best suited for lighter to medium-weight fabrics like jackets and trousers. For heavy-duty applications, a more robust button might be required.
What kind of thread should I use to attach the buttons?
Use a strong, color-matched thread. Polyester or cotton-wrapped polyester threads work well.
How do I care for the buttons when washing a garment?
It is best to wash garments with these buttons on a gentle cycle. Turn the garment inside out to protect the buttons. Avoid high heat during drying.
Are these buttons suitable for children's clothing?
Yes, but ensure buttons are securely attached to prevent choking hazards. Always supervise children's clothing with small parts.
What if a button gets damaged?
You can purchase individual buttons to replace them. Check the Hemline product details for the button's exact size and color to match the original buttons.
Troubleshooting
Button detaches from fabric.
Re-attach the button, ensuring the thread is knotted securely and the stitches are tight. Consider using a stronger thread if the fabric is prone to wear.
Button color fading or wearing.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When washing garments, use a gentle cycle and mild detergent.
