Troubleshooting

If you're having difficulty attaching a snap to fabric, here are some helpful hints:

Do not attach snaps over stitching or a seam. The bulk of the fabric may interfere with a secure snap attachment. Simply move the snap to avoid the bulky area.

Do not attach snaps on an uneven thickness of fabric. The uneven fabric prevents a secure attachment. Simply move the snap to avoid the area of thickness.

Be sure a fingernail cannot be forced between the fabric and the stud or socket. If the snap is not set properly, place the snap components back into the SnapSetter™ and hammer once more to attach the snap tightly onto the fabric.

troubleshooting snap attachments

Be sure the prongs of the snap are not protruding from beneath the stud or socket. If a prong is exposed, remove and discard the snap components and begin again.
