Why you should be able to open packages at the store!
I am making 4 Grids and Grommets purses--one for myself and each of my sisters. My one sister decides that she wants these square grommets. Okay I admit they are cool and make her purse really pop since her fabric is more geometric so I fork over the 18 bucks at the LQS which is a half hour away. It is a sealed package.
I get to her purse today. I keep having problems getting these grommets together and square. This is not my first time at the rodeo with this purse I have already made three!
Grab one from the pokey pile and one from the round pile, square, re-square and snap...NOT today, try a couple times, throw those back in the pile and grab a couple new ones, repeating squaring stuff, Snap. Get 7 of the 8 on, squared. Reach down and I have two pokey's and no round's. No wonder I kept having problems...two pokeys do not a grommet make!
I pull them all off. Sure enough I have 9 pokey's and 7 round's. I cannot finish this purse. Luckily this is not for Christmas just a sister thing.

Reason: We all sympathize, I'm sure. But this is not the place to lodge a complaint against the store or the manufacturer.
