I'm trying to put eyelets on a Silnylon bag that I've been making. My problem is that the material is too thin to allow the eyelets to grab the material enough. The eyelets keep coming out. In this case most of the eyelets are going through 2 layers but in some places 1 layer of 1.1 oz Silnylon. Any suggestions on how to reinforce the material so the eyelets don't fall out? Thanks

I usually add some tough (wear-resistent) nylon to the inside of the drawcord sleeve where the string exits.Cheers
