FAQs

What size are these Prym Jersey snaps?

These press fasteners are 12mm in diameter.

Do I need special tools to attach these snaps?

Yes, you will need compatible press fastener pliers to securely attach these non-sew snaps.

Can I use these on non-stretch fabrics?

These snaps are specifically designed for thin, stretchy fabrics like jersey. For woven or thicker fabrics, other types of Prym snaps might be more suitable.

How many snaps are included in a pack?

Each pack typically contains 12 sets of press fasteners (meaning 12 caps and 12 sockets/studs).

Are these snaps machine washable?

Yes, the snaps are designed to be machine washable and dryable, following the care instructions of the fabric they are attached to.

What is the main advantage of using these snaps over sewing buttons?

The main advantage is the quick, non-sew application and the secure, professional finish they provide, especially on stretchy materials where sewing buttons might be challenging.

Can I change the color of the snaps?

This specific product is for white snaps. Prym offers press fasteners in various colors, so you may need to look for a different product if a specific color is required.

Troubleshooting

Snaps do not close properly

Ensure you are using the correct press fastener pliers and that they are set for 12mm snaps. Check that the snap parts are correctly aligned before applying pressure. Apply firm, even pressure.

Fabric tears around the snap

The fabric may be too delicate or you might be applying too much concentrated pressure. Try a test on a fabric scrap. Ensure the fabric is properly supported within the pliers.

Snaps come loose after washing

Re-apply the snaps with firm, consistent pressure. Check if the fabric has stretched significantly over time, which might require repositioning the snaps.

Difficulty aligning snap parts

Use a pin or a small awl to hold the first part of the snap in place on the fabric while positioning the second part before closing with the pliers.
