Hello1

I am a beginner and have never sewn denim. Can anyone tell me what those metal snaps or buttons are called on the corners of the pockets of denim jeans and jackets? (Sometimes they have the manufacturer's name on them). Does anyone know how to put these on?Does it require a tool? Can I buy them in Joanne's? Thanks So Much!!

YOu can buy them at Joannes and I advide you to get the ones with out the neck and with the push needle. You take the back and it pushes through all the fabric and then you put the metal gromet on the top and it locks. once it is on it is one. They are usally near the grommets and the eyelts and such.
The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!
