FAQs
What kind of thread should I use?
Use a strong, matching thread. Polyester or cotton-wrapped polyester threads are good choices.
Can I use these snaps on leather?
Yes, but use a heavy-duty needle and thread, and consider pre-punching holes in the leather.
Are these snaps washable?
Yes, but hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the snaps and preserve the gold finish.
How do I prevent the snaps from pulling off the fabric?
Ensure the snaps are securely sewn on with small, tight stitches. You can also reinforce the area with a small piece of interfacing.
What size needle should I use?
Use a needle appropriate for the fabric's weight. A size 70/10 or 80/12 needle is generally suitable for most fabrics.
Can I iron over the snaps?
Avoid ironing directly over the snaps as the heat may damage the finish. Iron around the snaps.
Troubleshooting
Snap is difficult to close.
Ensure the two halves of the snap are aligned correctly and that the stitching is not interfering with the closure.
Snap comes undone easily.
Check that the snaps are sewn on securely, using small and tight stitches. Reinforce stitching if necessary.
