Product Information
Full details
The Prym Power Dots are designed for sewers and crafters who need to reinforce areas where press fasteners or eyelets are attached, especially on delicate fabrics or for repair work. Their key benefit is preventing fasteners and eyelets from tearing out, ensuring durability. A potential caveat is their specific use case, as they are primarily for reinforcement rather than being fasteners themselves.

FAQs
What are Prym Power Dots used for?
Prym Power Dots are used to reinforce fabric where press fasteners or eyelets are attached, preventing them from tearing out, especially on delicate fabrics or in repair situations.
Can I use these with any type of fastener?
They are specifically recommended for Prym Jersey press fasteners and Color Snaps. While they can reinforce other types, optimal results are achieved with Prym's compatible fasteners.
Are these suitable for thick fabrics?
They are primarily designed for fine, delicate, or lightweight fabrics. For very thick materials, additional reinforcement methods might be more suitable.
How do I apply them?
You place the dot on the wrong side of the fabric, mark and punch the hole through both the fabric and the dot, then attach your fastener or eyelet.
Will they add a lot of bulk?
They add minimal thickness, designed to be unobtrusive while providing necessary reinforcement.
How many dots are in a pack?
This pack contains 100 Prym Power Dots.
Can these be used for machine embroidery?
No, Prym Power Dots are specifically for reinforcing fabric around mechanical fasteners and eyelets, not for embroidery applications.
Troubleshooting
Fastener/eyelet still feels loose after application
Ensure the Power Dot was correctly positioned and that the fastener/eyelet passed through both the fabric and the dot. Re-evaluate the strength of the fabric and consider using multiple dots if the fabric is exceptionally thin or prone to tearing.
Fabric tore during application of the fastener/eyelet
The Power Dot may not have been properly secured, or the fabric might be too weak even with reinforcement. Try again, ensuring the dot is firmly in place before making the hole, and use a gentler force when attaching the fastener/eyelet.
Difficulty making a clean hole through the Power Dot
Use a sharp awl or the recommended tool for your specific fastener/eyelet system. Ensure the tool is centered on the marked spot and apply firm, steady pressure.
