   Oh!  Thank you!!  The very first site you mention was a winner, Diday!.  Rome Fastener Corporation seems to have the very thing.  I will e-mail or fax them shortly and get their prices.  So happy to find this site.  They seem to have everything I need.  Thank you, once again!  When I finish a tote, I'll send in a photo for all to see.  What good help we get in the sewing world!

   That first site was very interesting.  I looked to see if they had a tool for setting grommets but didn't see one.  I've been watching for something that does a better job than the things you get at JoAnn's, etc.  I don't use them often enough to justify industrial quality, (and expense.)

   Thanks for your suggestions.  I've looked at some of those places, but there are several I haven't.
