Magnetic snaps are a popular closure choice in bag making, offering a clean look and easy functionality without adding bulk. Whether working with fabric, cork, or leather, installing them correctly is key to a professional finish and long-lasting durability. This free video by Allsewpetite provides a detailed tutorial on how to install a magnetic snap closure with prongs and washers onto any sewing project.
The free video tutorial explains the basic parts of a magnetic snap, including the male and female components, their prongs, and washers, then walks through proper preparation for installation. It stresses the importance of interfacing pattern pieces and adding extra stabilizer where needed before accurately transferring snap placement markings to the wrong side of the fabric.
To reinforce the area, a small piece of fusible stabilizer such as Deco light or fusible fleece is applied, followed by marking prong placement with the washer and carefully cutting small slits for the prongs.
To prevent fraying, fabric glue or Fray Check is applied around the slits before inserting the snap from the right side, adding the washer, and bending the prongs in opposite directions to secure it.
An optional final step suggests covering the installed snap with fusible fleece or tape for added protection.
