Remember, you are working with plastic not metal. You will hear a “click” as the cover drops into the tray this lets you know it has been properly seated. The cover should sit against the black die tray and the socket should face the rubber pressing head. Insert a pronged cover through the hole, working from the front through to the back.Using the provided awl, gently poke a hole through the fabric at the marked center point.For extra accuracy, you may want to make these centering marks on both the front and back of your fabric. Using a fabric pen or pencil, mark the center of each part of the snap.As when working with buttons, don’t forget to base your final spacing on the full width of the snap cover to insure you’ve left enough room between each snap. If not, simply measure based on where you want the center point of snap cover. If you’re using a pattern, the snap positioning will likely be specified. If you are using just a single layer of fabric and/or a lighter-weight fabric, it’s best to add a bit of interfacing to strengthen the area and provide stability for repeated snapping and unsnapping.
