HOW TO SET A STUD IN 4 STEPS
The tool does the work. You do the placement.
01
MARK YOUR SPOTS
Lay out your jacket, bag, or belt flat. Use chalk or tape to mark placement before you commit.
02
PUSH THE STUD THROUGH
Push the prongs through the fabric from the front. Work on a hard surface. Don't force it.
03
USE THE TOOL
Place the stud setter tool over the prong ends on the back. Apply firm pressure. The prongs fold flat — clean, even, permanent.
04
DONE
Flip it over. Your stud is set. Repeat. No bent prongs, no split fabric, no regret.
