FAQs
What materials can I use this kit with?
The Hemline Metal Eyelets Kit is suitable for use with various fabrics, including cotton, denim, linen, and many synthetic materials. However, results may vary depending on the fabric thickness and type. It's always best to test on a scrap piece first.
How do I create a perfect hole?
Use the included hole punch to create a clean hole. Place your fabric on a firm, flat surface (like a cutting mat) and punch straight down with a firm, even pressure.
What if my eyelets aren't staying in?
Make sure you're using the right size eyelet and washer for your fabric. Ensure the hole is the correct size, and that you're applying firm, even pressure when setting the eyelets with the tool.
Can I buy replacement eyelets?
Yes, replacement eyelets are available, though they may need to be sourced separately, depending on where you purchased the kit.
How do I store the kit?
The kit comes with a non-spill plastic case for easy storage. Keep all components in the case when not in use to prevent loss and keep them organized.
Troubleshooting
Eyelets not securing properly.
Ensure the hole is the correct size for the eyelets. Check that the eyelet and washer are properly aligned before using the tool. Apply firm and even pressure when using the eyelet tool.
Hole punch not working effectively.
Make sure the hole punch is sharp and clean. Place a firm surface underneath the fabric to provide support. Apply steady and even pressure when punching the hole.
