so you want to make a book with your bind it all? you have so many options. here are a few tips that I wish I would have heard before I got started….
1. you can either make the pages inside your book smaller or the same size as the cover. (or all different sizes as I have done in the past)
2. to punch holes in the item, you want to find the “center” of the item you are punching. line that up with the center arrow in the punching part of the bia. then switch to the “continuous” and continue to punch your holes. BE AWARE of the end of you item that you are punching. You do not want a partially punched hole on the end of your item! and obviously you are not going to mark it like this… this is just for demo purposes!
3. binding… you’ll want to sandwich all your parts with the back cover stacked on top of the front cover…
4. squeeze slowly and evenly.
5. squeal in delight for your finished project!
Thanks for that. I did bind it right so the wire edges were on the inside… but I just couldn’t figure out how to continuously punch it if I was supposed to be on the cover / inside page settings. LOL.
thanks..I always wondered how they worked. Maybe in a few months I’ll spring for one.
Looks like fun! (I have an old office binding system…it’s so heavy! These new ones look awesome!)
awesome! thanks so much for this! i am def.going to buy me one of these after i move :)
Great tips, Joscie……Good reminder for me…. Thanks…

Thank you so very much for this post. I have to bookmark this. I have the bind-it-all and have not taken it out of the box yet as I’m a little intimidated by it.
Great tutorial!! I needed one since my BIA has been sitting untouched on my scrap table since December!! I was scared to use it until now. Thanks!!
