Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Placement: Position the hook and bar on the fabric, ensuring the closure aligns properly.
- Attachment: Sew each piece securely to the fabric using a needle and thread. Use small, tight stitches for durability.
Compatibility
These fasteners are compatible with a wide range of fabrics, especially those used for skirts, trousers, and lightweight garments. Ensure the fabric can withstand the sewing process.
Care
- Washing: Garments with Hemline Hook and Bar Fasteners can be machine washed. Consider placing the garment in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging on other items.
- Ironing: When ironing, avoid direct contact with the hook and bar to prevent damage. Iron around the closure area, if necessary.
