I tried an eyelet plate and found it nearly impossible to use on large
garments like dresses with big skirts, because of having to spin the
fabric around it. They didn't want to fit through the (mind blip,
whatever the name is for that space between the needle part and the
body of the machine) How do you handle that?
Besides origami or a long-arm quilting machine?
I'm a serious fan of creative rolling, folding and pinning to reduce the
bulk into the smallest managable volume. Yes, it makes your reset time
between eyelets longer.
I'm also a fan of old flat-bed sewing machines built into huge cabinets
with large work-spaces.
Of course, if appropriate, you could always make eyelet self-tape and
stitch it down to the garment to save the big fiddling.
