Use this heavy duty metal anvil tool for installing button snap fasteners. Also can be used without the base for setting rivets. This tool is recommended when setting Stainless Steel Fasteners it makes them easier to set and provides a better looking installation.

A hole must be inserted in the fabric to push the snap's barrel into the fabric before setting. We recommend you use the 1/8" hole punch to do this.

Snap Fastener Deluxe Installation Tool is a railroaded pattern

Reduce Seaming with Railroaded Fabric

Most upholstery fabric is 54 inches wide and, if it features a pattern, the pattern is run down the length of the bolt. When upholstering, it generally looks best to run a patterned fabric from the top to the bottom of the piece and from the back to the front. This requires seams every 54 inches on larger pieces like sofas and long boat cushions. Alternatively, a Railroaded fabric pattern can be used to eliminated unwanted seams. The patterns in Railroaded Sunbrellas run across their widths. This makes Railroaded Sunbrella perfect for these longer projects.

In this illustration, the fabric rolls out to cover the cushions without need for a seam.
