Press Stud
Type of fastening for fabric which comprises two sections: one side has a stud and the other a hole. Press studs are usually made of metal, but are sometimes plastic. The studded side fits snugly into the hole and they remain together until firm pressure is exerted to pull them apart.
Press studs may be sewn on to fabric, but some can be attached without sewing. Such studs have two parts for each section, which are placed on either side of the fabric. When firm pressure is exerted, prongs on one part of the stud go through the fabric and lock into a ridge on the other part. The press stud section is thus held firmly in place.
