FAQs

What size are these eyelets?

These Prym eyelets have a diameter of 14 mm.

What materials are the eyelets made of?

The eyelets are made of brass, and the washers are typically silver-colored metal.

Do I need special tools to apply these eyelets?

Yes, you need the Prym VARIO Creative Tool (390903) and the corresponding eyelet tool set (673127) for 14mm eyelets.

How many eyelets are in a pack?

Each box contains 20 eyelets and 20 washers.

Are these eyelets safe for clothing?

Yes, they are OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they are tested for harmful substances and are safe for textile use.

Can I use these on any type of fabric?

They work best on medium-weight to heavy fabrics like cotton, canvas, and denim. Very thin or delicate fabrics may require extra care or reinforcement.

How do I clean projects with these eyelets?

Clean the eyelets with a damp cloth. For the fabric item, follow its specific care instructions, but avoid harsh chemicals directly on the eyelets.

What does 'non-sew' mean in relation to these eyelets?

'Non-sew' means these eyelets are applied mechanically using tools, without the need for needle and thread.

Troubleshooting

Eyelet is loose or wobbles.

Ensure the fabric is not too thick or too thin for the eyelet. Re-apply pressure with the VARIO tool, ensuring it is correctly aligned. Check that the correct tool set for 14mm eyelets is being used.

Eyelet tears the fabric.

Try using a thinner fabric or a washer. Ensure the eyelet is positioned correctly and the VARIO tool is squeezed firmly and evenly. Pre-making a hole slightly smaller than the eyelet can sometimes help.

VARIO Creative Tool is difficult to squeeze.

Check that the tool parts are correctly inserted and locked into place. Ensure no fabric or debris is obstructing the tool mechanism. Lubricate the tool slightly if recommended by the manufacturer.

Color transfer from eyelet to fabric.

Wash the fabric item separately after application. For sensitive fabrics, test on a scrap piece first. Ensure the eyelet is fully set, as improper setting can lead to color bleeding.
