Prym's jersey snap fasteners are meant for soft, stretchy fabrics and are set without sewing. The stated size is Ø 8 mm. Sold as 21 pieces (7 each colour). The material is brass.
Before setting, look at the spot: two layers plus interfacing hold better than one single layer of thin cloth. For babywear, swaddle blankets and play mats, snap fasteners answer faster than a buttonhole or a zip. Marking the position with chalk beforehand means hitting it exactly and unpicking nothing afterwards.
What Prym Love Jersey Druckknöpfe Weiß/Hellblau/Dunkelblau Ø 8mm 390702 is suitable for
- Fastenings on baby and children's clothing
- Flaps on bags and cases
- Swaddle blankets and play mats
Frequently asked questions
Which fabrics do they suit?
From jersey to denim, most things work. Thin cloth needs a reinforcement under the fastening, or it will tear out over time. Two layers plus interfacing make the safe build-up.
Can a badly placed fastener be removed?
Yes, there is removal tooling for that. It rarely comes off without a trace, so test on a scrap first until position and pressure are right.
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.
