Troubleshooting
Eyelet tears through fabric
Ensure the fabric is not too thin or slippery. Use a stabilizer if needed. Make sure the eyelet is securely set and cannot be turned by hand.
Eyelet feels loose after setting
Re-apply pressure with the Vario Creative Tool, ensuring the tool is correctly aligned and the pressure is sufficient to fully crimp the eyelet and washer.
Tool doesn't set the eyelet properly
Verify that the correct tool components are inserted into the Vario Creative Tool and that they are properly seated. Ensure the eyelet and washer are correctly positioned before applying pressure.
Color transfer from eyelet to fabric
While rare, test on a scrap piece of fabric first. Ensure the eyelet is fully set, which typically seals the color against the washer.
