How to Sew On A Press Stud
ID: 142703
Description: This guide will show you how to securely...
Steps:
- Separate the press studs into two halves.
- The ball
- The socket
- Gather two and a half feet of thread. Thread the needle.
- Move the needle to the middle so both sides of the thread are equal lengths.
- Tie a knot at the end of the thread.
- Tie a second knot over the first one.
- This will make the knot bigger.
- Mark the areas you want to sew the press studs into using a fabric pencil. Make sure the markings are aligned.
- The ball should be sewn on the inner flap of the top piece.
- The socket should be sewn on top of the bottom piece
- Hold down the press stud with your thumb.
- Poke the needle through only the first layer of the fabric, grabbing only a small bite of the fabric.
- Push the needle through the hole of the press stud and pull the thread all the way through.
- If your garment is not double-layered like the one in the guide, the thread will show on the other side.
- Thread the needle through the fabric next to the first hole you made.
- Stop before pulling the needle all the way through. There will be a small loop. Thread the needle through the loop and pull.
- This will create a sturdy knot along the outer rim of the press stud.
- Repeat the previous step and continue to sew along the first press stud hole (at least four times total).
- Make sure the knots made by the loops fall next to each other, not on top.
- Once you have completed sewing along the first hole, insert your needle through the fabric of the next hole. Pull the thread all the way through.
- Repeat Steps 7-9 until you finish sewing through all four holes of the press stud.
- Once all the holes are sewn through, insert the needle through the thread of the hole you ended on.
- Pull the thread until you make a small loop. Insert the needle through the loop and pull all the way.
- Cut the excess thread. Your press stud is now completely sewn on!
- Follow the exact same steps for the socket.
