FAQs
What are frog fasteners used for?
Frog fasteners are decorative closures typically used on garments like coats, jackets, and cardigans. They consist of a toggle and a loop, offering a unique and stylish alternative to buttons.
How do I attach Stephanoise frog fasteners?
You attach them by sewing each part (toggle and loop) securely to the fabric at the desired closure points. Ensure your stitching is robust.
Can these fasteners be used on any fabric?
They are best suited for medium to heavy-weight fabrics. For lighter fabrics, consider reinforcing the area where the fastener is attached.
How should I clean these fasteners?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing the fasteners directly.
Are these fasteners durable?
Yes, Stephanoise fasteners are made with quality materials for durability and repeated use.
What makes these fasteners different from buttons?
Frog fasteners have a distinct loop-and-toggle design that is often more decorative and visually prominent than a standard button.
Troubleshooting
Fastener feels loose after sewing
Reinforce the stitching on both the toggle and the loop. Use a stronger thread or add more stitches in a cross-hatch pattern.
Color transfer to fabric
Ensure the fasteners are fully dry before use. If significant transfer occurs, hand-wash the garment separately in cold water.
Difficulty threading the loop
Ensure the fabric for the loop is not frayed. Use a larger needle if necessary for your fabric, or slightly adjust the loop's position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Positioning: Lay out your garment and determine the exact placement for each part of the fastener (toggle and loop).
- Attachment: Carefully sew each component onto the fabric. Use a strong thread that matches your project. For the toggle, ensure it's securely anchored to withstand pulling. For the loop, ensure it's stitched firmly to hold the toggle.
Compatibility:
- These fasteners are compatible with a wide range of fabrics, from medium to heavy weights like wool, denim, and canvas. Lighter fabrics may require reinforcement behind the attachment point.
Care:
- Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive soaking, as this could affect the material or color.
- If sewing them onto a garment that will be machine washed, consider reinforcing the stitching before washing.
