28L / 17 mm / 0.67 in Fabric Cutting Die for Cover Buttons KKSKKLP0003

28L Fabric Cutting Die for 17 mm / 0.67 in Cover Buttons

This Fabric Cutting Die prepares the fabric circles used for 28L cover buttons. It cuts a 28 mm / 1.10 in circular fabric piece, which is then used to cover a button with a finished visible diameter of 17 mm / 0.67 in.

The larger fabric circle is intentional. It gives the material enough allowance to wrap around the button edge and fold inward toward the reverse side during covering.

28 mm Fabric Circle and 17 mm Finished Button

The fabric cutting diameter is 28 mm / 1.10 in, while the finished button diameter is 17 mm / 0.67 in. This creates a total diameter difference of 11 mm / 0.43 in.

When that difference is distributed around the circular button, it leaves approximately 5.5 mm / 0.22 in of fabric allowance per edge. This material folds inward during covering and helps create a cleaner wrapped edge.

• Fabric cutting diameter: 28 mm / 1.10 in
• Finished button diameter: 17 mm / 0.67 in
• Total diameter difference: 11 mm / 0.43 in
• Approximate fold-in allowance per edge: 5.5 mm / 0.22 in

What This Die Does

This tool cuts a 28 mm circular fabric piece. When used on stacked fabric, it creates the circular cut-out and separates the fabric disc used for button covering.

It does not cover fabric around a button shell. Use a separate Fabric Button Covering Die for the covering stage.

Layered Fabric Cutting

For thinner fabrics, cutting approximately 5–6 layers together can make preparation more efficient. For thicker fabrics, approximately 3–4 layers may be easier to control. Test the actual fabric and press setup before repeated production.

Use in Fabric-Covered Snap Applications

When the snap-cap geometry and cutting requirement are confirmed, this die can prepare the fabric circle used for a compatible fabric-covered snap cap.

The cutting stage is separate from both cap covering and snap assembly. A matching Fabric Button Covering Die is required for cap covering, while final cap-and-socket assembly requires a separate Snap Setting Die.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fabric circle does this die cut?

It cuts circular fabric pieces with a 28 mm / 1.10 in diameter.

What cover button size is it intended for?

It is intended for 28L cover buttons with a finished visible diameter of 17 mm / 0.67 in.

Why is the fabric circle larger than the button?

The extra fabric creates the allowance needed to fold inward around the button edge during covering.

How much fabric allowance is left around the button?

The total difference is 11 mm / 0.43 in, which leaves approximately 5.5 mm / 0.22 in of allowance on each edge.

Does this die cover the button with fabric?

No. It cuts the fabric circle only. A separate Fabric Button Covering Die is needed to form the fabric around the shell.

Can it prepare fabric for a fabric-covered snap cap?

Yes, when the cap geometry is confirmed to use the same cutting requirement. Final covering and snap assembly still require separate compatible tools.
