Having problem installing Dritz 7/8 inch grommets/eyelets. I followed the instructions however the piece with the teeth(washer) do not engage. I wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem and a solution. I placed on anvil--then eyelet---fabric---washer then pounded with setter.-----the top of the eyelet---does "curl" down---however with 3 layers of med weight fabric the teeth did not "hook" into anything. Any help would be appreciated. Kathy

Did you pound with the setter, or did you put the setting tool into the center hole of the washer and pound with a hammer? You need to use a hammer to set larger grommets.
