    Nice job, please tell me how you get the snaps to stay on? I have not had any success with them at all- I have avoided any project that requires them! Please oh purdy please give me some tips! Thanks!

      I know what you mean about the snaps! Having solid tools helps. I have the Prym “Vario Plus” snap kit (http://store.atlantathread.com/prvakit.html). The heavy-duty crimper is awesome – it really holds the pieces in place as you prepare to crimp them and works so much better than the chintzy crimper accessories that come with the individual snap kits. The key with this model is to take a deep breath and squeeze the crimper like there’s no tomorrow. :)
