I couldn’t imagine why I would need this tool, but I got it. First round, it didn’t work for me and I contacted KH for a replacement. They wrote back a very supportive note, after looking at my pictures with a few suggestions (I had looked at the video beforehand and thought I had it figured out). I needed to strike yet again, but more importantly, strike on a hard surface. I went down to the basement, sat on the concrete floor and was able to the rivet out. They weren’t as pretty as Ellie’s, but they will do. It’s going to be an exercise in “practice makes perfect” and I am confident I’ll get there! Love making bags (how many quilts and clothing articles do I need?) and love KH patterns, materials, authenticity and energy!
Love this. Thank you, Dd! Glad the concrete floor ended up working out for you. Having the right surface to set tubular rivets is key, but once you get the right set up you're golden. Hope you get lots more use out of that tubular rivet penning tool! <3
Love it! I have become a pro using it!
