FAQs
Does this pack include the setting tool?
No, the pack contains only the 12 sets of eyelets and washers; a compatible 14mm setting tool must be purchased separately.
Can I use these on thin fabrics?
While possible, it is recommended to add a layer of interfacing or stabilizer to thin fabric to prevent the eyelet from tearing out.
Are these rust-proof?
While the material is durable, they are standard metal eyelets. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to maintain the gold finish.
Is 14mm the inner or outer diameter?
14mm refers to the inner aperture of the eyelet, which is the standard measurement for size compatibility.
Can I use these on thick leather?
Yes, these eyelets are robust enough for standard craft-weight leather, provided you have punched the correct hole size beforehand.
Troubleshooting
Eyelet is loose after installation
The setting tool did not apply enough pressure to properly crimp the back of the eyelet. Re-apply the tool with more force or ensure the washer is fully seated.
Fabric fraying around the hole
Use a small amount of fray-check liquid on the edges of the hole before inserting the eyelet to stabilize the material fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these eyelets, you must have a corresponding 14mm eyelet setter tool or a heavy-duty punch machine. Mark the exact placement on your material and punch the necessary hole before inserting the eyelet through the front. Place the washer on the back side of the fabric, ensuring the eyelet sits flush. Using your setter tool, firmly apply pressure to crimp the back of the eyelet against the washer. For maintenance, avoid using harsh chemicals that might strip the gold finish. If the eyelets are used on items that get washed, it is recommended to turn the garment inside out or place it in a laundry bag to prevent the metal from scratching other surfaces.
