How to use Prym vario pliers to attach eyelets | A quick and easy tutorial

Thank you for watching my tutorial video, where I show you how to attach eyelets to a garment using Prym vario pliers. It’s a really nice simple and quick method for attaching eyelets!
In the video I talk about the following equipment needed to install eyelets:
Prym vario pliers
Eyelets
Tailors awl
Mini safety pins
All of this equipment can be found on my Amazon favourites list (along with my other favourite sewing tools and books) here: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/cath_craft

Thanks for the video, I don't have the same domed attachment, 😢, I also just watched the video on the Prym website and show how you can create a small hole with the attachments too. Also what the red thing is for. It's to remove the attachments, 😂I never knew! Great video!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you!

[@andreabodle3344]

Thanks for the tutorial. How do you remove the metal pushers (! not sure what the terminology is) out of the pliers. Just to be clear I don't me the eyelets and washers. Once the metal things (!) are in I can't get them out.

[@madebycathcraft]

I generally just pull very hard to get them out but one of the sets I got did come with a little plastic tool you can use to push them out from the underside, so that might be an option too

[@tatagraner]

Hi!
My eyelets are always too lose, is that because my fabric is too thin or because I’m not using any interface?
Thanks for your help!

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi sorry I missed this comment. I have found my eyelets to attach fine and securely to thinner fabrics like cotton jersey, I do always interface the fabric before applying the eyelets so that might well help to stabilise and stop the eyelets feeling loose 😊

[@ChristineSewsALot]

I think where I have gone wrong is making my hole too big. My eyelets have always come out. Will have to give it another try

[@madebycathcraft]

Yes I think the holes need to be as small as they can be, only just big enough to squeeze the eyelet through. Hope you have better luck now

[@debranormansell9930]

Hi Cath, can you tell me what size eyelets you are using as I’ve just ordered some that are huge 😮

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi there, I order the Prym 5mm eyelets

[@debranormansell9930]

@@madebycathcraft Thanks Cath x
