WAL MART sells eyelets and eyelet tools in their sewing department that work nicely to add reversing eyelets to ribbons that do not have them.
Also some of the plastic spools have smaller holes and do not fit over the slotted peg on the 32, 33, and 38 machines.
And of course KL machines need the SCM style ribbon spools. The Underwood style does not work on those.
