Plastic Snaps vs Magnetic Snaps- When to Use Them?

[@mtoren2475]

Excellent communication skills and clear explanations. Vanessa, as usual you are amazing!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Thank you so much!

[@LYoung-op5ub]

Great instructor. Doesn’t ‘ assume you know something. Goes step by step.

[@sachithamithraratne6321]

Love the way you explain things ..clear..and.informative 🥰

[@eunicescott8414]

Great way to show how each of these choices works. I love that notebook!!!

[@maggietucker3666]

Love your style of teaching- you are my ‘go to’ when I am learning something new (magnetic closures) or want a new challenging project. I am new to sewing and you are such an inspiration!🙌❤️🙏💥

[@janetcorder44]

I'm glad to know that the plastic snaps are better (still a personal choice) than the metal...wow i can see that now. Great...thanks for explaining.☺

[@heathern9051]

Thank you. Perfect timing since I don't have plastic snaps and starting to make the Project Duo Bag from a previous club.

[@phyllis26red]

Thank you for sharing!

[@judybrayer3740]

what size magnetic snaps do you like for bags and same with kamsnaps plastic ,,thank you ,,love you sharing so much for all of us

[@BethSharp-m4v]

You used extra foam behind the metal snap for fabric stability. But I don't think you used extra behind the Kam snaps. Is quilting cotton with SF101 interfacing, but no batting, strong enough to hold the Kam snap over time?

[@garnettehardesty688]

Can’t wait!

[@Brandi62]

Are all plastic snaps the same? I bought a box of cheapo ones. Are there different qualities of plastic snaps? The ones I have are kind of sheer instead of opaque.

Beautiful lady

[@tonistevens2253]

What about the magnetic closures enclosed in plastic. We used them in a previous bag Club.

[@debbiemarcovitch7737]

Do you do anything with starting a business?

[@jackiejordan6950]

What is best way to sell my handmade bags

[@patriciastein]

Vanessa, I have trouble getting the KAM snaps to close fully or stay in the fabric. Am I squishing it too much with the tool?

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Sounds like you’re not squishing it enough or it’s being installed through bulk that is too thick for the length of that center prong.

[@patriciastein]

@@TheCraftyGemini ahh. I didn't think about thickness. I think you are right. Do the pokey parts come in different lengths?

Are there more than 1 brand of those Plastic Snaps? I bought some from Babyville Boutique about 10 years ago & found 2 out of 5 projects I used them on, the male end didn't snap well into the female part. It was either bent or it was not a smooth transition when snapping it together. So, I went back to my metal snaps. I just didn't want to ruin my projects, never knowing if the snap would be a good application or not. I have the handheld appliance that came with them to use with, but there are times when it just doesn't come together well.

[@stephaniesalva9036]

so where can we get the pattern for this notebook thingie?

[@KathleenKarns]

My plastic snaps are so hard to open . Any reason why?

[@LYoung-op5ub]

Wow, do you talk fast, can you slow down a little. Great lesson.

[@TheCraftyGemini]

You can slow the video down if needed. 👍🏽

[@biaki3007]

you are talking too much

[@lynetterene]

She's just thorough and detailed

[@CalllieQuilter]

Ooh, I'm getting so excited for this next bag club. 🧵🪡✂️💗
