FAQs
What does 22 Lignes mean?
Ligne is the traditional unit of measure for buttons; 22 Lignes is equivalent to approximately 13.75mm.
Are these buttons safe for children?
Yes, they are made from non-toxic materials, but as with all small objects, ensure they are securely sewn on to prevent a choking hazard for infants.
Can I use these on a machine buttonhole?
Yes, these buttons are compatible with most standard automatic buttonhole functions on modern sewing machines.
How many buttons come in the box?
Each pack contains 8 buttons.
Will the color fade in the sun?
The buttons are resistant to UV damage when stored in their original box, though, like most plastics, they may change if left in direct harsh sunlight for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Button feels loose after sewing
Ensure you have used a shank or created a thread bridge to allow room for the fabric thickness when the button is fastened.
Button catches on the garment during wash
Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to protect the delicate star points during the cycle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Attractive star-themed aesthetic
- Includes convenient clip-top storage container
- Non-toxic construction suitable for various skin types
- Durable enough for standard daily use garments
Cons
- Limited to a single 13.75mm size option
- Specific baby blue color may not match all fabric types

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the buttonholes are sized correctly to match the 13.75mm diameter of the buttons. When sewing, use a standard polyester or cotton-wrapped thread that coordinates with the baby blue finish for a seamless look.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: These buttons are machine washable, but turning garments inside out is recommended to prevent the star points from catching on drum surfaces.
- Storage: Always return unused buttons to the provided clip-top box. The container is specifically designed to block UV light, which prevents the plastic from yellowing or becoming brittle over time.
- Handling: Avoid prolonged exposure to high-heat ironing directly on the button surface, as direct contact with a hot iron may warp the decorative edges.
