Dritz Clothing Care 82446 Ironing Board Cover Fasteners (4-Count)

This turned out to be a diamond in the rough for me. I originally put them on my ironing board and while they held the cover taught (as they were supposed to) because of the way my ironing board folds, I had to readjust them a bit. Later that week I discovered a much better use for them. We have a very nice mattress pad on our bed, but despite the fact it has a wide, fully elastic edge that fits the mattress just like a fitted sheet, it is forever getting bunched up under the sheets making it feel lumpy when you're trying to sleep. So, I wound up taking the these fasteners off the ironing board and simply cutting the existing elastic right in the center (no need to make twice the work fitting and sewing new elastic through the metal clips) . Once cut (using what I had on hand) I took some 1" wide elastic, typical of what is used in the waistbands of slacks, and with my husbands help, stretched the elastic across the width of the mattress, added about 4 inches for overlapping and stitching, then cut three that same length. The fourth one was stretched head to foot on the mattress, (same method as side-to-side). Using plenty of zig zag stitching, I sewed the new strips of elastic to the existing elastic I'd left on the snaps.. This took all of about 10 minutes. MUCH, MUCH better holding power than the little corner snaps you find in the stores for sheets, We slid the three shorter ones beneath the mattress without any issues and attached them on either side (starting about 18" from the ends and centering the third one in the middle of the sides. The longer one was placed beneath the mattress and centered (head to foot). It has worked so well I'm going to do the same to the bed in the guest room. The snaps are heavy duty and the set was very inexpensive. I don't think you could buy eight heavy duty snaps separately. for less. Who'd want to, when half the work is already done FOR you. An extremely easy project with excellent results even for those who are 'sewing machine challenged'. It's hidden under the mattress where no one will ever see it! Everything has stayed in place perfectly I... LOVE...IT !

Excellente qualité, facile à installer; transforme une housse régulière en une housse qui tient en place et facilite le repassage. Je ne m'en passerai jamais plus.

lo uso para sujetar la cubierta de la tabla de planchar, ideal, la sostiene restirada !!!!!

Ironing is much better using this ironing board.

Excelente!
