SERVICE

We offer an eyelet application service in a range of sizes and finishes including:

• metal eyelets – in a variety of sizes and finishes.
• stitched eyelets – one size, approximately 3mm internal diameter. Although this measurement may be affected by the fabric used.

We can potentially apply your own eyelets if you have the compatible machine dye-set. We cannot apply your eyelets using our machine parts.

Eyelets need to be on the edge of the fabric as the machine has limited space to insert fabric, withing 7-8cm maximum from the edge. For corsets remove the boning or the machine cannot fully compress the eyelet.

Please note:  we do not eyelet knit, lace, netting, unstabilised jersey or other stretch fabrics. We may not eyelet lightweight fabrics, leather, pleather or wadded.

The finishes vary depending on our current stock. Please enquire directly or pop into the workrooms to see our current selection.

Curtain eyelets, internal diameter 38mm, can be applied only to a stabilized fabric near the edge. This service is not available on the same day.

Stitched eyelets are available in one size. If you need a specific colour, you will need to provide the thread. Stitched eyelets need to be on the edge of the fabric, withing 1.5cm maximum from the edge. For corsets remove the boning or the machine cannot ‘clamp down’.

• 2 spools of 120 weight, ideally Coats Tre Cherchi 40, we can try a Gutterman 120. The machine only uses a specific spool-type, as on the keyhole machines sew-all spools do not fit on the threaders.

Helpful thread stockists: William Gee, London Trimmings

PREPARATION

Bring your garments and/or fabric marked correctly. You need to mark a dot, with chalk or pencil, where the centre of each eyelet will be.

We do not make garments, corsets, curtains etc so you will need to research how many you need. Consider the weight of metal eyelets and the size diameter internal and including the eyelet rim.

NO PINS

• all eyelets = mark on the FACE SIDE (outside)

“consider the size of the eyelet rim when measuring out for marking”
