A snap fastener with a prong ring that anchors in knitted fabric without piercing it. The stated size is Ø 10 mm. Sold as 20 pieces. Produced from brass.
The two halves lock into each other and open many times over without the fabric beneath suffering. For babywear, swaddle blankets and play mats, snap fasteners answer faster than a buttonhole or a zip. They are set from both sides of the fabric; only then does the fastening sit tight. A test on a scrap shows whether the layer holds. Anyone sewing regularly likes to keep such notions in duplicate.
What Prym Jerseydruckknöpfe 10mm Silber Nachfüllset 390106 is suitable for
- Fastenings on baby and children's clothing
- Flaps on bags and cases

Frequently asked questions
What tool do I need?
Prym offers pliers and tool sets to match each size. The pliers work more quietly than hammer and anvil and hit more accurately, because the part sits in the insert and cannot slip while pressing.
Do they survive the wash?
The parts resist corrosion and come out of the machine as they went in. For very hot washes, turn the piece inside out so nothing knocks against the drum.
How many do I need?
A baby jacket needs only a few, a long placket needs considerably more. Count one extra so that a test on a scrap is covered.
What spacing should I keep?
As a rule of thumb the first one sits about its own width from the edge, the rest at even intervals. Marking with chalk or a pen keeps the row straight.
