I love the magnetic clasps. Make sure you use fusible fleece or warm N natural batting - just a small rectangular piece and put the prongs through that and Do NOT forget the washer or it is constantly pulling at your lining. I put them in the lining before I sew the purse up. I did one before without the washer and hated it. I finally ripped open the seam I had sewn up last and put the washers in.
