You are THE FIRST ONE after many that finally explained eyelets are one piece...i was going batty lol

I just love your personality. You always inspire me to calm the f*ck down and stop taking everything so seriously. It’s sewing, not brain surgery! I don’t know why I’m so scared to try new things. I am so grateful for your videos. I am trying to learn your attitude even more than the skills you teach. ❤️

Thank you so much for this easy to understand and enjoyable to watch video!! I started several other example videos and couldn’t get through them for various reasons- but yours was exactly what I needed! ❤️

Wow! Thank you for this video. I really wanted to learn to add grommets but felt it was a daunting task. You make it look so simple and give me the confidence to give it a try!!

Thank you! I have been looking for a good grommet installation video without a press. Thanks so much!

I always get excited when I’m searching RU-vid for a sewing related video and your channel pops up. You’re the best!

You’re great. I have watched a few of your videos now, and they are very well done. Kudos.

You have such a fun personality, and amazing style (obv), plus I learn so much from your videos. Thanks

Thank you so much for this demo. It helped me to decide whether to use grommets or eyelets for my project, AND gave me a strategy for making holes without specialized equipment. 10 chubby, well-loved cats out of 10!

17 seconds in and I’ve already subscribed. I love your style, love you vibe, loooooove your voice. But after finishing it I have to say thank you for this video it’s exactly what I’m as looking for!!!

Thank you so much for the in depth tutorial!! It was super helpful for me as a beginner with eyelets!!

Using grommets for the first time on a project and this really helped me understand how to do it properly!! Thank you so much :]

Wow, this is the first video of yours I’m watching and I’m really impressed about how you take your time to explain everything. Thank you soo much

Thank you so, so much for such an informative vid. I had no idea where to start with eyelets & grommits - you`ve saved me much head scratching AND money!

My first time watching a video of you and I'm already in love. Your attitude is everything! The way you go straight yo the point explaining in laymans terms makes it easy to assimilate and fun to watch. Thank you for not being complicated.😊❤

Omg, I'm trying to punch eyelets into my hats for a shoelace and a tension thingy so my hat won't blow off and I'm used to grommets, so I kept trying to mash 2 eyelets together! 😂 Thanks to you, I'll do it RIGHT next time! ❤ Just subscribed! Ty! Brenda in Az 🌵

Thanks, just exactly what I needed. I have forgotten so much and had a 'light bulb ' moment when you produced one of the plier tools, which is packed in another box. I shall be climbing the ladder tomorrow. (11:15PM Aust)

Thank you for the demo! You explained it perfectly.

Thank you so much for this video. It explained so many things!

Thanks for explaining in layman's terms. finally a video that makes sense on installing eyelets and grommets.

Love all your videos.

You just made my life a whole lot better 😊

Dope work! Great video! Thank you!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you

Thankyou very much. I really enjoy your presentation it help me to understand these tools. Tx

Ty for your help. Doing a doggy cushion duvet cover for back of my chevy tracker that will have long cushions in it. This totally helped. Like kelly said below. Love your personality.

Love this. Thank you. And love your hair. Not everyone can pull off the Betty page

Came across your video today March 10, 2024. I never saw one of your videos before. Right away i started enjoying it. It's your personality! You are so funny & entertaining. You made me laugh right out loud a couple times. You did a great job. Liking & subscribing. 😊

Awesome tutorial...you make it so easy.

Go, girl! You are awesome!

Thank you, this was super helpful!

Thanks for the clear directions! I am replacing the canvas of a backyard playset and using a nylon instead; if I didn't watch the video, I would have never thought to use interfacing to stabilize it. Many thanks!

Love this page

Thank you! Great video

Thanks, you make it so much fun 💖💖💖

Thanks maa'm am really pleased with your teaching

Liked and subbed! Thanks for the tutorial!

Yay can’t wait to try

Thank you so much for this. This helps so much with modifying my clothes 😄

I'm having a lot of fun learning about grommets with you. Can you make a whole denim dress or corset for us with grommets? I'd love to see what you make, Have you used grommets on leather? The fashion possibilities are endless! I love the way you sling your hammer with bravado.

Good info. Thank you.

Helpful. Thank you.

This was SUPER helpful thank you! PS you rock!

Thank you so much !

Thank you!❤

Thank you so much for these instructions, I ordered a set of grommets and a mechanism from Amazon and it came with no instructions!

Very helpful 👍🏾

nice job!

Thank you!!!!

Thank you

Thank u! 🤗✨✨

I subscribed soon as I seen her shirt 😍

You like very smart alecky-ish and I really wanted to not like you but I really did and the viedo is very informational and you taught me exactly what I needed to know thank you

I appreciated the no-punch method.

Hi Faren. Thank you for this video. I bought a set that had the hole maker, the bit that goes underneath and the thing you hammer to get the grommet sealed (hope that all makes sense?). I am using the same fabrics (cotton) but for some reason occasionally all of it just falls out? I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong because it doesn’t happen every time but if I want to sell my items then I need to be sure they’ll stay in. I was wondering if you could give me any advice please? I will try the added bit of fabric, but have you anything else if that doesn’t work? Thank you for your time 🤩😅🤩

Thanks so much. I am working on a project with a rug. I have grommets but not any tools. Can I use either the tool or the punch on a rug?

Your shirt is so cute, did you make it? Thank you for your tutorial.

Hi! I want to add grommets to the shoulders of a tshirt. Would I need to fuse? If so what with. Also considering a light chain (jewelry) so thanks so much for the help!

Thanks for your great explanation of grommet vs eyelet. I will be applying to a crocheted hat to add a leather lace to hold the hat on. Do you think I need to look for a small grommet to accommodate the crocheted fabric thickness rather than using an eyelet? Or would a simple eyelet be suitable?

trying to make a corset, but the cracking of the washer catches on the ribbon used for lacing, is there a way to put grommets in without the washer becoming a ribbon-shredding menace?

Wish everything was explained that way so simple,💯👍👍🆒🤦

Beautiful 2

For a 10 mm grommet are Can you use a hole puncher on denim?

great video ❤ do you think it’s possible to put a grommet in a faux fur bucket hat so i can add a strap to it?

I've gotta get those grommet pliers, as much as my apartment neighbors love hearing the hammer method 😂

I've added grommets to a webbing strap material (handles for a massage table), but they're starting to tear out. Any suggestions on how to reinforce a really heavy weight material?

Excellent comprehensive eyelet / grommet fabric tutorial! Where’d you get those types of scissors?

Love your video.❤️ Really helpful. Is there any chance I can put an eyelet without the tool?

Hello. Great video. My question is.. what size grommit do you think I would use to make a corset on the back of a denim jacket? And also do you think a grammar machine hole puncher is better than just a hammer and base plate that’s in the store

Just a trough... You may want to use a brass hammer for your grommet or eyelet tool. It will reduce the rebond and transfer the impact force better. The brass head grip the tool and transfer the impact force a lot better when you don't hit the tool perfectly at the center. You can find nice one online for metal letters stamping. They weight between one to two pounds. I think you will get good results. I switched from a 48 oz ball pein hammer to a 32 oz brass hammer for metal stamping. It's night and day...

excellent demo BUT my anvil is currently stuck in my grommet!! I must have done something wrong... HELP

Thank you for sharing, this was helpful & yet... I'm a little confused still, based on what I bought. The package says eyelets however they appear to be in 2 parts, based off of what you said 2 parts makes them grommets either way, I need to find a tool & hope for the best, whatever they are

Did you fuse the denim?

Great video! I'm hoping to insert eyelets/grommets into as thin of fabric as possible (like muslin). Any ideas for how to reinforce the fabric but still keep that thin look/feel? Can you just reinforce the part that you are putting the eyelet or grommet through? Thanks so much!

How would I add eyelets/grommets to stretch swimwear/underwear/activewear fabric without them falling out?

@7:16 = I do not have one of these "tools" nor do I intend on getting one - why TF is it so hard to find an instructional video at how to join one of these eylets together using ONLY household tools, i.e. a hammer?!?!??!

Not sure if you'll see this, but... I'm making a deconstructed/patchwork denim blanket, and I'll be adding eyelets/grommets in several sizes, double-cap rivets, heavy-duty snaps, and buttons (jeans-style tack buttons and regular sew-on ones), in addition to extra (handmade) pockets, some with flaps. I know I need to use interfacing/stabilizer for most of those things, but I'm not very familiar with interfacing, and have no idea what type to use. (I've also seen twill tape mentioned as a substitute, but I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to even use that!) The denim is decently heavy (~12oz weight, mostly from Carhartt & Duluth men's work jeans). Do you maybe have an opinion on what type/brand I should use? Any advice would be appreciated! By the way, I saw someone else comment on their "grommets" being packaged as "eyelets"... All mine are the same! I have probably 6 different packs, from two different brands; all 2-piece, but all called eyelets. It seems to me, at least in all the stores around here, they only market them as grommets if they're over a certain size (1" or so). Anything smaller is called an eyelet regardless of technical correctness, lol. 🤷‍♀️

Pls maa'm can i finish sewing my dress before applying my eyelet or grommet

Has anyone applied a grommet to a bamboo shade? I'm a little unsure how to get it to grip and stay on. Manufactured shades use them but have a powerful tool to press them on. I will have to do it by hand. Should I glue it just before I hammer it on?

Hii.. my old shoes grommet size 0.6, i have wrongly buy new grommet size 0.5.. can i used 0.5 grommet to old hole size 0.6?

Hey guys, if I were to add 1/2 grommets to a tshirt would I need fusing so the shirt wouldn’t slip out from under the grommet what material of grommet is washer safe

We've bought eyelets that are bigger than the groove in the plier, which is about as old as me! What can we do to solve the problem?

What about eyelets in puncture proof material? Like for work boots...

How do you know if the post of the grommet is high or low enough for the fabric you're using? I purchased a kit, but the grommet doesn't finish nice, it's got rough edges where it's turned under onto the washer!

❤you're the bomb,

What size of eyelet/grommet is usually used for corsets?

Do the grommet tools have to correspond to the size of the grommet?

My eyelet is so short it’s not reaching through all the fabric layers. What should I do? They keep falling out when I lace up the corset

Can u paint ur grommets to match the color of the dress? If u can, what paint can u actually use?

Wham Bam Thank you Mam 😂

Hi Faren! Thanks so much for the demonstrative video :) Can you give us the amazon link to the grommet tool or a link to a comparable one on amazon? Also, do you have an IG page that we can follow?
