Troubleshooting
Fastener not holding securely
Ensure the threads used for sewing are strong and that the fastener is stitched through a reinforced part of the waistband. Check that the hook is properly engaged with the bar.
Hook or bar becoming bent
Handle the fasteners with care during installation and use. If bent, attempt to gently straighten them with pliers. For severe bending, replacement may be necessary.
Discoloration of the fastener
This may occur due to prolonged exposure to moisture or certain chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Ensure the garment is fully dry after washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Hemline Hook and Bar fasteners are designed to be sewn onto fabric. Typically, the 'hook' part is attached to one side of the waistband opening, and the 'bar' part is attached to the other side, overlapping the hook. Ensure they are sewn securely onto a reinforced section of the waistband for maximum durability.
Compatibility: These fasteners are compatible with most woven fabrics commonly used for skirts and trousers, including cotton, linen, wool blends, and synthetic materials. They are ideal for medium to heavy weight fabrics.
Care: The fasteners are made of nickel. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. If the garment is machine washable, it is recommended to close the fasteners and place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
