Looking for advice — I was adding the first of eight grommets to this quilted backpack and it cut all the way thru; I think I was using the wrong tool

I’d really like to save this piece. The metal grommets were the last step and I don’t want to lose all that work! But I also don’t want to add bigger grommets.

Is there any other option? Suggest anything and everything - I’m sad it screwed up and stuck
