Troubleshooting
Eyelet is loose or tears the fabric
Ensure you are using the correct tool set with the VARIO Creative Tool. Make sure the eyelet is securely attached by applying firm, even pressure. Check that the fabric is not too thin or has not been over-perforated. The eyelet should not be able to turn freely in the fabric after application.
Tool does not set the eyelet properly
Verify that the correct tool components are inserted into the VARIO Creative Tool. Ensure the eyelet and washer are correctly positioned before applying pressure. Check the tool for any obstructions or damage.
Color rubs off eyelet
This is unlikely with quality brass eyelets. Ensure you are not using abrasive cleaners. If color transfer occurs, it may indicate a manufacturing defect; contact the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use these eyelets, you will need the Prym VARIO Creative Tool (product no. 390903) and the corresponding Eyelet Tool Set (product no. 673127). Insert the appropriate tool pieces into the VARIO Creative Tool, place the eyelet on one side of your prepared fabric (ensure fabric is perforated where the eyelet will go) and the washer on the other side, then apply pressure with the tool. It is crucial that the eyelet can no longer be turned in the fabric after application to ensure it is securely fastened.
Compatibility: These eyelets are specifically designed to be used with the Prym VARIO Creative Tool and Eyelet Tool Set. They are suitable for use on a wide range of fabrics, from light cottons to heavier canvas, as well as other craft materials.
Care: The eyelets themselves are made of brass and require no special care. If they become dirty, they can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry afterward. The fabric items to which they are attached should be cared for according to the fabric's washing instructions.
