I’ve always found snaps intimidating. Honestly, I used to think they were harder to attach than buttonholes. But the SnapSetter tool has changed my mind entirely. It’s incredibly easy to use, and since snaps are such an essential part of our new layette pattern, I thought it would be useful to walk you through the process with some step-by-step photos.

The SnapSetter tool is composed of three main components that fit together seamlessly, making it the perfect tool for attaching snaps effortlessly. It’s crucial to choose the correct size SnapSetter. I prefer size 15 snaps because they perfectly match the dimensions of the Lullabye Layette pattern. For projects like our Straight Stitch Society Have It All Wallet, we opt for size 16 snaps and SnapSetter because they require a slightly larger snap to maintain proportionality.

The SnapSetter tool is straightforward, and its assembly is simple. Here's how you can use it effectively:
Each snap consists of four parts. The first part is the visible portion of the snap, which we'll refer to as the "top snap." (While its official name is the "capped prong ring," I find this confusing since it sounds similar to the fourth component.) The top snap is available in both solid and ring designs, offering various colors to complement your fabric. It also helps hold the second part of the snap in place. The second part is the socket, which has a hole in it and is placed behind the top snap. The third piece is the stud, the small ball that fits into the socket to create the snap closure. The final piece is the pronged open ring, which secures the stud to the back of the snap.
---
Let’s begin by attaching the top snap and the socket to the top layer of your fabric. First, decide where you want your snap positioned and mark the spot on your fabric. Place the top snap on the base of the SnapSetter with the prongs facing upward.
---
Lay the fabric face-down over the snap’s prongs, ensuring your marked position aligns with the center of the prongs. Push the fabric gently down over the prongs to ensure it stays securely in place.
---
Next, add the middle bar of the SnapSetter. The hole in this bar acts as a window, allowing you to see the prongs clearly and ensuring they remain centered. Drop the snap socket into the window, making sure the smooth, raised side is facing down and the textured side is visible within the window.
---
With everything in place, all that remains is to add the top bar of the SnapSetter and tap it a few times with a hammer on the raised bump of the SnapSetter. You don’t need much force—just enough to secure the snap firmly. I recommend doing this a couple of times to ensure the snap is stable.
---
Voilà ! The top half of your snap is complete. Here’s how it looks from the front:

And here’s the back:

Attaching the second half of the snap follows a similar process. Start with the pronged ring in the base of the SnapSetter. Position the fabric face-down this time, aligning your mark with the prongs. Ensure the right side of the fabric is facing up.
---
Place the middle section of the SnapSetter over the fabric so the prongs and fabric are centered in the window. Next, insert the stud, right side up, into the window.
---
Finally, place the top part of the SnapSetter over the stud and tap it a couple of times with the hammer. Your snap is now fully attached and ready to use!
---
Initially, the snap might feel a bit snug, but it will loosen up after a few uses. One of the best features of a prong snap is that it rarely damages the fabric. Any small holes left by the prongs can be easily repaired by gently pushing the threads back into place with your fingers or a fingernail.
If you ever encounter issues with a snap not setting correctly or need to adjust its placement, simply use a screwdriver or a metal letter opener to separate the two pieces. Discard the old snap and attach a new one—it’s that simple.
Using the SnapSetter and a hammer ensures the pieces stay securely in place while attaching, preventing any mishaps. As long as you follow the steps carefully, you’ll never have to worry about the snaps slipping or getting damaged during the process.
The SnapSetter tool has made snaps enjoyable to work with. If you're looking to complete your Lullaby Layette set, we now stock size 15 SnapSetters and a variety of color options for size 15 snaps in our shop. Give it a try—you won’t regret it!
Nonwoven Fabric Used In Filter(air,water)
The chaotic distribution of fibers in the nonwoven filter material can enhance the dispersion effect of the carrier phase when it flows through the fiber curved system of the filter material, so that the suspended phase of the particles to be separated has more opportunities to collide with and adhere to the single fiber. Because woven fabric and knitted fabric fibers form a regular arrangement of yarns, yarns are closely intertwined with each other, and the fiber lacks the possibility of forming a curved system, the filtration efficiency of nonwoven fabric is significantly higher than that of woven fabric and knitted fabric, and it can also improve the flow speed of the carrier phase, that is, speed up the filtration process.
The application of nonwoven materials in air filtration is mainly reflected in household air purifiers, automotive air purifiers, commercial air purifiers and other fields. Nonwovens are more and more widely used because of their good filtration performance, high strength, good air permeability, good heat sealing performance, and easy to return ash cleaning, no glue, no expansion and so on. The proportion of nonwoven materials in household air purifiers accounts for more than 80%, and the proportion of car air purifiers reaches more than 90%. Filtration is a process that separates solid particles or other impurities from a fluid.
