What are Hemline Round Shell Buttons made of?

They are made of natural shell material.

Are these buttons suitable for heavy fabrics?

Yes, but ensure you use a strong thread and attach the button securely.

How do I choose the right button size?

Select the size that complements the garment and buttonholes. Usually, a slightly larger button is best for blouses.

Can I iron directly over the buttons?

It is not recommended. Iron around the buttons or use a pressing cloth.

How should I store these buttons?

Store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

How can I clean the buttons?

Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid harsh chemicals.

What if the buttonhole is too small?

Carefully enlarge the buttonhole to fit the button without damaging the fabric. Use a seam ripper.

Can these buttons be used on children's clothing?

Yes, but ensure the buttons are securely attached.

Troubleshooting

Button detaches from the garment.

Reattach the button using a stronger thread and reinforcing the stitching, or consider using a button shank.
