WHAT SIZE AND BRAND ARE YOU USING, I USED THE DRITZ PLASTIC ONES WITH TWO LAYERS OF FUSIBLE FLEECE AND FABRIC, THEY WERE HARD TO SNAP BUT THEY NEVER CAME OFF

If you have a sign shop in your area they will put in professional ones for about a $1.00 each.

I have done a few of these (and have the stuff to do many more, lol) and after my first one I used "fray check" on the little round cuts. Had some fraying on the first one that kept popping the grommet off. I do like the super glue idea too!

I have a friend that has been making bags and using the large grommets also. Her bags the fabric pulling out from under the grommet and the grommets pop off easily. They snap together when she puts them on the purse but don't seem to hold tight together afterwards. I am trying to help her figure out a way to solve this problem, but not sure what to tell her. Maybe the super glue would work for her. Any suggestions, would be appreciated. Thanks

I just saw a suggestion ( I'm not sure where) to sew a line of stitching around the hole after it is cut to hold everything together. I think that will help, but I'll still use glue also.
