FAQs
What does 26 Ligne mean?
Ligne is a traditional unit of measurement for buttons. 26 Ligne is equivalent to approximately 16.25mm.
Are these buttons heat resistant?
Yes, they are made from durable material capable of withstanding standard ironing temperatures used for cotton and polyester garments.
How many buttons are included?
Each pack contains 5 buttons.
Can I use these for children's clothing?
Yes, the buttons are non-toxic, though ensure they are sewn on very securely to prevent any potential choking hazard.
Does the storage box keep buttons safe from moisture?
The clip-top box provides protection from dust and light, but it is not airtight. Keep in a dry sewing area to avoid humidity.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have wrapped the thread around the shank three or four times before tying off the knot to increase stability.
Thread keeps breaking
Use a slightly heavier weight thread or ensure the buttonhole edges are not overly frayed, which can cut the thread during use.
Pros and Cons

- Comes in a reusable, organized storage container

Cons
- Limited to 5 buttons per pack

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your buttons remain secure, use a high-quality, color-matched thread. When attaching, ensure you provide enough 'shank' or space between the fabric and the button to allow the garment to close properly without pulling.
- Compatibility: These buttons are best suited for light-to-medium weight cottons, linens, and synthetic blends. They are not recommended for heavy wools or thick denim where a larger shanked button is required.
- Care: These buttons are machine washable. To prevent scratching during the spin cycle, it is recommended to turn the garment inside out or place it inside a mesh laundry bag.
