I'm interested in putting grommets into several printed-sheet tapestries. Do I need a separate 3/8" hole punch?

This set includes the punch - it's the black cylinder. I did find that I needed to sort of rotate the punch so only a section of it was in contact with the fabric at once to concentrate the force and cut through the fabric.

No, you need heavy duty, like the SF-13 or SF-39, staples for that. In 3/8",1/2",5/8" etc. you can get thin, breakable, "high-capacity" staples or "heavy duty" staples, which is what you need. Swingline & Stanley Bostich both make them.

Yes. This is one, best for things that are not deep into the project. http://www.amazon.com/Dritz-Heavy-Duty-Fastener-Plier/dp/B005BB5GYS/ref=pd_bxgy_ac_text_y If the snaps will be located to far into the project for the plyers to work, then you'll need something like this http://www.amazon.com/General-Tools-1265-Fastener-Fasteners/dp/B00004T7VT/ref=pd_sim_ac_9 You may want some kind of tapered punch set to open up a space for the snap and help guide it into place, especially if you're going through heavier, or multiple layers of fabrics.

Not sure on larger size punch additions. For backing when punching, do not use steel, it will dull your punch. Use wood or plastic cutting board.

You don't need to buy sandpaper with holes. They will be punctured when you put the sandpaper in the sander.

It's not long enough to punch three (standard-distanced) holes on one page. If you DO decide to purchase the unit, you will be pleasantly surprised with the heavy-duty quality.

Yes you can, but you have to open the little "window" on the punch to look through. I totally missed that feature until another crafter showed me. I like it better that Crop-a-dile as it give a true 3/4 inch hole. Still carry my Crop-a-dile as well however.

The holes will line up but you will have three or four inches of the page sticking out from the binder. I brought a page to Staples and tried every binder they had with the same result.

Actually, both sides will accommodate grommets. I make all my own shower curtains so they have buttonholes but I just took a really good look at the hooks and can see no reason why both curtains and liners can't have grommets.

No idea, but probably not. The peg holes are already pre-punched, so you can only choose from the pre-set dimensions.

You are asking the wrong person. Suggest you search amazon to see if they sell single punches. Ace Hardware sells a single 5/16 hole punch for $9.99 but you might need to order it from their website. Doubt they would stock it in the store. The quality of the punches in this set leaves a lot to be desired. If I only needed one, I would buy it from Ace.

Yes, the grommet holes will be correct, I can mail a few color swatches if you like, and to specify color simply send me an email after you order, "email seller". Thanks - Chris

I don't know if you can add any larger size punches. I use a block of wood under the gasket material. Do not use metal, you will ruin the punch.

No. They are too thick and inflexible to use a hole-punch with. You'd have to drill the hole.

I have used 2 sizes, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch. in my machine and they worked great with the machine. the combs come in many sizes offered and they indicate how many pages can be used for each size. The project i was working on was 40 pages and used the 1/2 inch to accomodate that and turned out wonderful. good luck with your project.

Depends upon the manufacture , some are different spaced and size holes, as I found out.7/8 to 1 inch would be nice.

You need a square type, size 5 1/2. (A size five works if you are willing to trim, or don't embellish much, but I wouldn't go that route if I didn't have to.) I have a We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board that makes that size. No matter how you get it, be aware that the irregular shape requires extra postage.
