Has anyone else experienced grommets/eyelets cutting into fabric?
I have been having a mysterious problem, and wondered if anyone else has experienced this. I am using the same satin and the same eyelets (grommets) I have always used, but for some reason I am now finding that the outer edges of the eyelets on both sides are cutting into the fabric like pastry cutters! It seems that I am over-pressing the eyelets as I'm setting them, but I have not changed my technique. I use pliers initially, and if any of the eyelets are loose I go over them by putting the setting tools in a vice and giving it a *very* gentle turn. Does anyone have any advice for making sure they are properly and securely set using a hand press, but without damaging them? (Other than just get stronger hands?!)
