FAQs

What kind of thread should I use?

Use a strong, color-matched sewing thread appropriate for the fabric type. Polyester or cotton-wrapped polyester threads work well.

How do I measure the button size?

Button sizes are typically measured in lignes (L). You can use a button gauge or ruler to measure the diameter.

Can I iron directly over the buttons?

It's best to avoid direct contact with the iron to prevent melting or damage. Use a pressing cloth or iron around the buttons.

How do I prevent the buttons from coming loose?

Sew the buttons securely, creating a strong shank. Reinforce the stitching if necessary and avoid pulling on the buttons excessively.

Are these buttons suitable for heavy-duty applications?

While durable, consider the button's size and material when used on heavy-duty items. For heavy-duty applications, ensure the shank and stitching are reinforced.

How do I remove a Hemline button?

Carefully cut the threads holding the button in place with a seam ripper or small scissors. Be sure to avoid damaging the fabric.

Can these buttons be used on baby clothes?

Yes, but ensure the buttons are sewn on securely and are not a choking hazard. Always supervise young children.

Troubleshooting

Button detaches after washing.

Re-sew the button, ensuring the thread shank is secure and using a strong thread. Consider reinforcing the stitching.

Button color fades over time.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use gentle detergents when washing.

Button shank breaks.

Replace the button with a new one. Ensure you are not putting undue stress on the button.
