Maggie, it sounds like a wonderful idea in theory, so I am glad to read you are now happier in real life! I need to slow down my daily life, so I can get back to scrapbooking!

Maggie, could you link to that thread...I want to make sure I am doing it correctly...sometimes I still have difficulty...MM eyelets seem very HARD to set...anyone else???
TTFN......

I'm glad I could offer some advice.

I don't have the link to the other thread, but I suggest that you just press hard over a very sturdy surface (I put my mat over the leg portion of my table). I don't try to twist the tool at all. For me, I stand up, put both my hands on the top, lean into it, and press. It works every time on every type of eyelet I've tried. Rarely, I will need to hit it with a hammer (usually if I'm doing a lot of setting I will need to do this to make sure since I get tired ). I hope this helps.

I do the same as Tony. Stand up and press down. Totally set.
