What kind of snaps to use?

[Mouseskowitz]

In this video, I show how easy it is to use KamSnaps on a TQ, and in the comments section, I provide a link to the snap pliers available at Hobby Lobby that cost a good deal less than the ones KamSnaps sells:

Excellent tutorial, thanks!

Thank you, I have been looking for something that would work, as opposed to those hand held devices, which never work well to install snaps. And, a good source for 'pacifier clips' to add to my clothes line.

I use these sew-on plastic snaps sold by Quest. They are the 'jumbo' snaps at the very bottom of the page.

I've used them many times and really like them. They just sew on like a button, supper easy, no need for special tools. Good positive snap and strong hold. Super light and thin too. And dirt cheap. There's a video of me making a quilt on Youtube where I used these.

I ended up ordering for Kam Snaps directly. I looked around and really didn't see much of a better price anywhere else. They had the pliers on sale for $13. So, for those and 100 single color snaps it was $21 to my door. Oh, and I found a 5% off coupon that saved me a couple pennies.
