Troubleshooting
Snap does not close securely
Ensure both parts of the snap are properly aligned and fully set into the fabric. Check if the tool is applying enough pressure. Verify that the fabric is not too thick for the snap.
Fabric is damaged during attachment
Ensure you are using the correct tool for the snap type. Do not overtighten or apply excessive force. Reinforce the fabric area with interfacing if it is very thin or stretchy.
Snap loosens after wear
The snap may not have been set correctly. Try reattaching the snap, ensuring a firm and even application of pressure with the tool.
Discoloration of the snap
Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or direct, high heat during ironing. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed if washed with colored items.
