Denny---Please don't be offended---that was a serious question. I'm flying blind here to a large extent. I sincerely value your opinions, and believe me, that last post was not a show of attitude. If you believe that I have the wrong type of nylon fastener, please tell me what you think is the correct kind. I have had a very difficult time trying to get good sense out of local upholsterers, and I hoped that by posting what I purchased today, if I had purchased the wrong thing someone would come foreward and inform me. I am truly sorry if I have given offence---it was not intended. Brian
