Product Information

Full details

Prym Jersey Press Fasteners are ideal for crafters working with lightweight and stretchy fabrics, particularly for baby and children's clothing. Their key benefit is a secure, rustproof closure that withstands washing, drying, ironing, and dry cleaning without damaging the fabric. A potential caveat is that they require specific tools for attachment, though these are widely available. These 8mm silver-coloured brass fasteners feature a self-locking ring and can be applied directly to fabric without pre-punching holes.

Troubleshooting

Fastener is loose after attachment

Ensure the tool was used with sufficient pressure to fully engage the self-locking ring. Verify that the correct tool and adapter for 8mm fasteners were used.

Fastener is difficult to open/close

Check for any fabric bunching or misalignment within the fastener mechanism. Ensure no excessive force was used during attachment that might have deformed the parts.

Tool is not attaching fasteners correctly

Confirm you are using the correct tool set for 8mm Jersey press fasteners. Ensure the tool is properly assembled and functioning according to its manual.

Rust spots appearing on fastener

This is unlikely with brass fasteners. If it occurs, ensure no harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners were used during washing or care. Clean the garment as usual.

Attachment:

To attach Prym Jersey Press Fasteners, you will need a compatible tool such as the Prym Vario Creative Tool, Prym Vario pliers, or a Prym tripod tool along with the appropriate Jersey press fastener tool set. Consult the tool's instructions for precise application steps. Generally, the fastener components are placed on either side of the fabric and then pressed together using the tool, which engages the self-locking ring.
