How to Sew On A Press Stud

Giriş

This guide will show you how to securely reattach or replace a press stud using a thread and needle. Press studs are useful in fastening clothing and allowing lapped edges to connect, but the stitching can wear over time which can lead to loose or missing press studs. Press studs are known by many names, including snap fasteners, snap buttons, press buttons, and press fasteners.

The press studs shown in the guide are a size 4, but you may use any size that fits your needs. Some press studs have more than 4 holes, but the process is the same as in this guide.
