ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all! :roll:
I can't thank all of you enough for your caring suggestions for "Grrrrrrrrrommet" problems! I ended up using super glue - I used two pieces of wood and a C-clamp to hold them together until the glue dried! It became quite a project. But THAT was successful, so I forged ahead and made a second bag for my son's girlfriend - 16 grommets in all! CONQUERED, with a little help and encouragement from my friends! Thanks again!!
