This is a currency note from the Bank of the United States and is not an obligation of the United States government. The Treasury Department did not issue notes intended for circulation as currency until 1862.
The grommet panel must be a minimum of 70 inches wide, between the side hem seams, to provide just slightly more than 1.5 times fullness on the 40-inch space.
The grommets included in our kit are 6mm. My big awl was almost big enough to make the hole for the grommet. If that hole is not big enough to install your grommet through, try making a tiny X on the fabric with an exacto knife. Make sure the X does not extend past the circumference of your grommet! The goal is for the grommet to fit without distorting the fabric too much.
