Press Studs

[Dolphini]

Hi All

I have tried many times to get a press stud to stay on my item. Everytime ist seems attached but after one or two uses it pulls out.

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong

Any tips?

Thanks:helpsmilie:

I have another question while I am here

I am making a credit card holder for a friend and want to dye it but do not want the intered stiffener piece I have covered in leather to also get stained. But the main pieces must be well covered. Is there any reason I can't dye it before I put it together and sew it?

Hello,

If by studs you mean rivets, here is a short video which may help:

I think press studs is English for snaps. It takes a special tool to set them and different thicknesses of leather require different length pieces on your snaps. On large snaps you can improvise with the setter, but on small snaps, you need the proper tool. I assume you're using a small snap for a credit card holder. I don't know anything about spring snaps, where you can see a little bit of wire in the female piece. We really need more information.
