I was just at a meet n great in Shipshewana this weekend. It was so much fun! Any way a few of us got to talking about snaps. Here is where I order mine:

I have had such a hard time using the Dritz. These are so easy. The secret is in the tools. They make using snaps so easy. So if you like to use snaps here are some nice ones.

You are welcome ladies!
Jacquie, I use mostly 16 to 18 but I have have all the "tools" for all the sizes and have some of the other sizes. I like these snaps because of the tools. I still mess up sometimes but not like with the Dritz. I could never get those right but with this the snaps are "forced" to be lined up and I get it right almost always. And they hold good too.

thanks...I don't do much with snaps, but this might change that...I am going to order just the 16 size in a mixed group and then they have neatest "button" looking one in a 20 size...think it will look great on wallets/bags!
These are not too costly either..I like that!
