Having trouble with putting snaps in- help?!

[StrawberryMumma]

Hi guys

I'm having trouble snapping some of my nappies..and I can't figure out why some snap nicely together and some don't!!

Has anyone got any ideas??! It's driving me nuts!

(My snap press is a KAM one from Snaps Australia).

chances are your not squishing them enough. I am assuming you mean once they are done they don't join together nicely. The little prong from the cap needs to be sqished as much as possible. Nice & flat, not sticking up still. if you have 2 that aren't squichsed properly they will hit each other when trying to join the snap KWIM? Try re pressing them. But do be careful I have been known to over squich & actually crack the snap LOL. Its a fine balance finding the right amount of pressure to use.

If you mean you can't get them to attach to the fabric, you may be trying to snap to many layers.

i found too that sometimes it helps to pre-pierce the fabric, especially if it's PUL. Make sure you're very accurate and are putting the snap spike through the hole before you squish it though so you don't miss the hole you made.
