Default Will pay someone to put #12 grommet in for me...

wrote:
I have a fabric camera case I am going to use to house an XM satellite
radio.

I actually need someone (for a reasonable fee) to take 2 of the cases
I have and put 2 grommets in each case. I need the inside diameter of
the grommet to be 1 3/4 - 2 inches.
The OD total diameter needs to be 3 inches. One grommet is on the
flap of the case. The other needs to go inside the case. Therefore a
hand kit or deep throated press (perhaps can accommodate 3 inches
would work.

In looking at presses and such, it is too expensive for my one time
need.

Sure I can find a kit for 1/2 inch grommet (#4) and have used such in
past. But there is no inexpensive #12 type kit.

This is why perhaps it is better I just send someone the cases and pay
a fee of perhaps $50

Thank you

It's a little hard to picture from your description what is needed. A
grommet on the flap is easy. Inside the case - how far from an edge?
Side or bottom?

I see grommet kits all the time at craft or fabric store but haven't
used them or paid attention to the intended use. I know draperies with
grommets are the rage - lots easier than sewing on stiffener and
measuring for pleats )

Here is a link to site that sells grommets:

What kind of fabric? MUST you use grommets, or would a stitched finish
around the openings work? Need large grommets to accomodate radio
parts/knobs or to finish an opening that is ragged?
