I busted the plastic Dritz setter I purchased before I was done with the garment (baby jumper). Since I have 2 in diapers, I would like to see how you all set your baby snaps! Right now I am using the sew on kind, but I want to start making some cloth diapers too.

I bought a big snap press ($119) you just line up the fabric and press down the lever. Your best resourse is cloth diaper web pages; or do a search on snap presses. You will find alot of info out there. I had one of the small ones like you had, and HATED IT! So, I bought a nice one. I don't use it that often, but it has saved me re-doing outfits since I would ruin the fabric with the other snap press.

I bought mine on WHAMall for $119, came with the press, the dies and 2000 snaps. You can find other snap presses same model at: http://diapershop.com http://home.att.net/~tjatsdehart/Press.html I have not bought from either company, but a few ladies from my cloth diaper group recommend both sites. I bought mine used, (works perfectly), they can be hard to find. And alot of times they are backordered, but MAN THEY ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! ==Brenda Lou

Well, I don't make diapers (youngest is43), but I use a fair amount of snaps. I love the snap setter from Snap Source, www.snapsource.com It is the one Sandra Betzina has shown on her program. I have beat the stuffing out of it and never had a problem. Lala Chile Pepper from Texas

Brendalou-Hi! Where is WhamAll-or what is the web site? I tried whamall-nothing came up! Sounds like you got a great deal-especially with the 2000 snaps. Mary Lou
