BTW, here's the way I ended up doing the stitching on the bottom of my EIII. I just painted a bunch of staples white, poked them through the fabric, and CA them in place. The impression of grommets was produced by drawing a little half-circle around the end of the stapes with a Sharpy. Then I gave the whole thing a dirty wash which settled in around the edges of the staples. I think it does a pretty good job of simulating the look in the first photo I posted in this thread.
