Hybrid stringing

I'm new at stringing hybrids. I just did a hybrid stringjob on my own nBlade 98, and I ended up with 2 parnell knots on top of each other on the t7 grommet (one main tie-off and the last cross tie-off). Is this (two knots on the same grommet) the normal practice with hybrids, or did I just mess it up? I couldn't see a possibility to tie off the last cross in any other grommet. Did I overlook something or do you always have to widen another grommet if you want to avoid two knots on the same grommet?

Sounds incorrect. Did you go to Wilson.com to get the proper tie off grommets??

I did tie-off at t7, so what did I do wrong? I tied off the mains at the two t7 tie-off grommets, and the crosses at h6 (not h5 as wilson say on their site; I think that's a mistake on their part) and at t7 (which I already used as a main tie-off). My main question is: is it normal to have to tie-off knots on top of each other (in my case at t7) when you do a hybrid, and if not, what do you have to do?
