Dan that was a great video. I have a BIA and always seems to struggle when making a book. I love the idea about making that template. Never even noticed the piece to attach it on the side. Keep the videos coming.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Yes, the instructions were very good!! Too good because unfortunately, now I want a BIA. ;)
ReplyDeleteSensational video! Great tips. Time to get the BIA out and play.
ReplyDeleteSallyW
Oh my goodness! How easy is that!
ReplyDeleteI have had my bind-it-all since January ~ and never used it because I was afraid I would mess up a project. Meanwhile I have been using O rings and all kinds of other techniques to bind things until I could 'read up' on how to work the bind-it-all.
Dan I can't thank you enough. Really what allot of time you put in to help folks you don't even know. :) I am truly impressed ~ thanks so much! :D
Cindy
Dan, Thank you so much for that lesson! You made it seem so easy & I can't wait to try a project now using the Bind It All.

ReplyDeleteSue
Guide was extrememly helpful, thanks so much. Would love to see front view of the video.
ReplyDeleteexcellent video Dan - I have been using my BIA for nearly 12 months and didn't realise that the plastic measuring guide you could place in the machine to measure the the Owires - if that makes any sense - SO simple - SO stupid of me. Thanks again - brill video.
ReplyDeleteGilly
thanks so much for that -have printed off the instructions. The number of projects I've spoiled and had to fudge something to hide the fact that the holes weren't evenly spaced at each end..well! Shall def have a play at this now!!
ReplyDeleteThanks again!

ReplyDeleteYou are a star Dan...all fear removed from punching more than six holes.

ReplyDeleteThank you Dan -brilliant tutorial. I have a BIA which I havent used yet always been not sure how to but now off to play.

Vicki W.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the video - it was really helpful.
ReplyDeleteDan - that tutorial is fantastic - so easy to follow - I feel I can now make more use of my BIA - thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThose notebooks are awesome - hope I'm lucky
Hugs Hilda
Thanks Dan! I'm not afraid to have a go with my BIA now (had it 3 months and never used it).
ReplyDeleteMy dd and I made notebook covers last night (hers is better than mine!) and now we are going to make them into notebooks.
Donna
I just made my first notebook, following your tutorial so thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant video, the light bulb has come on! You explained it all so simply and it is now so easy for me to do! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic Dan, now I know how to use my BIA properly, thanks:) It's all sooo easy now!!
ReplyDeleteYolanda
Brilliant Video Dan, thanks you so much. I only every use 6 holes because I just couldn't get it right. Will have another go now :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about buying a BIA but the demonstration I had at last year's Hobbycrafts at the NEC put me off as she made it look so difficult!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely be buying one now, it's not difficult at all the way you show it being used!!
Thanks so much
Caz
Thank you soooo much, Dan! What a great video. You made it so clear and simple to understan. Now I get it!
ReplyDeleteBetsy
P.S. I love your accent.
Great video! Ummmm.... I think I want a Bind-it-all.
ReplyDeleteKim M.
fun stuff......thanks for taking the time to do this.......love the look!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet! You touched on all the points where it was confusing. Great tutorial and easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteDan, excellent video! This little blue machine has always intimidated me -- no more! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us. Time for me to take mine out and make some notebooks!
ReplyDeleteBarbara
Dan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this video! I want a Bind It All!!!!
I love your small notebooks.
Your color use is AWESOME! And thank you for so gneerously sharing the how-to's in your tutorials, I am so grateful to have been told about your blog!
ReplyDeletePax et bonum,
Carol in Korea
Thanks dan! I have made some real mistakes tryong to bind more than 6 holes, I shall definately use the guide now! Really clear instructions, easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent tut Dan. My BIA is also gathering dust - so I guess I should get it out and dust it off. I also had trouble when needing more than 6 holes - it was a bit hit and miss, but after watching how you did it I'm going to give it another try.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for such great tuts
So that's how you do it!!! Thank you Dan for another fantastic tutorial - you make it all so clear.
ReplyDeleteDan that is the best BIA tutorial I have seen and very very clear instructions. I am inspired to get out my BIA and give it a go Thankyou xx
ReplyDeleteGreat video. If only I wasn't monetary challenged and actually owned a BIA I'd be laughing:) Owning one of your fantastic pads would be a good alternative though!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Are you related to Tim Holtz?
Well, your tut was so awesome, I think you just sold me and 2 of my friends a BIA! We may wait a couple weeks for pink ones, but still! lol Thanks for spending our money!!! (I think??!!??!! lololol)
ReplyDeletequestion though - does the initial purchase come with any coils or do we need to order those right away. And what size is suggested as the most used?
Forgot to say thank you very much for the printable instructions - my "Dan" file is quite big now :):):)
ReplyDeletethis is the best bind-it-all tutorial I've seen yet.
ReplyDeletethank you
Your tutorials are so clear and easy to follow - thanks for all the thought you put into them. The projects are gorgeous - particularly liked the idea of water stamping - will definitely give that a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful, clear tutorial. Esp. love the idea of making a guide - must do that before I next use my BIA, will make things a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteOff to watch your other tutorials now.
Tracy
As it's nearly 3.15am I'm going to come back to this tutorial Dan - I have made a couple of things with my BIA but do have trouble getting the wires in correctly - usually end up mis-shapen :-/
ReplyDeleteAnne x
Dan , as usual you make things look easy:) xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic Tutorial Dan, Many Thanks Jaqi
ReplyDeleteFabulous Tutorials Dan - The Bind It All is at the top of my wish list and after seeing these I am itching to get it. Your Tutorials are so clear and easy to follow - hope there are more to come in the future!
ReplyDeleteThanks yet again, Dan!!
ReplyDeleteI've watched other tutorials on the BIA and I think I learned the most from this one!! I bought mine over the summer and haven't had the time to sit down and try it... but honestly I was also a bit intimidated STILL and I had even messed around with punching holes on it. Thanks for making it so obvious and thanks for sharing the idea of making a punching guide for it! DOH! I never was quite comfortable with the instructions I had seen before about doing this and it never occured to me to make the guide! I have the perfect strips of cardstock to do this with, too (off-cuts from large art sheets that a local store was selling for about 50cents for a stack!) Some are longer than 12 inches, even, so it will be easy to make guides in many sizes.
I so appreciated all your hard work and generosity with sharing files and ideas and your creativity! THANK YOU!

Cool stuff! Tutorials can be so helpful. I don't have a BIA yet, but... Thanks!!
ReplyDeletecool, thanks so much Dan, I have not been abel to do more than 6 holes with my bind it all, they never seem to go right, but with your easy to follow instructions i think i will be able to do it. Love the notebooks you have made and hope i win one:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this video!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was very clear and you made this task so much easier for me. After watching this I now understand so much better on how to do the longer books. I am going to refer back to this until I feel I am confident in how I am doing.
I am definately looking forward to getting a bind it all. I could use it alot now that I'm making the word books.... Thank you so much for the tutorial
ReplyDeleteThank you so much - very helpful.... and makes it sooo much clearer..... might pluck up the courage now to use mine to do more than 6 holes ina book!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Dan! I always enjoy your tutorials and SCAL files. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. God Bless!
ReplyDeleteCarol
What a great tut Dan. Now maybe I'll actually use it instead of letting it gather dust... Thanks..
ReplyDeletebtw love the accent could listen to it over and over... but not in a creapy way... lol
Great tutorial Dan, thanks so much
ReplyDeleteLove the tutorial, have had my BIA for at least 9 months & never used it. Desperate to use it for a swap I am doing and with this tutorial will pluck up the courage to have a go.
ReplyDeleteSue
ld the bit at the start showing how to make the holes more than 6 !!! always had troubles with this but now it looks easy !
ReplyDeleteThat is by far the best video tutorial on the Bind It All that I have seen! So easy to understand and the template is a wonderful idea! Thanks so much for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant - I hadn't even realised that there was a pull out to steady the machine.
ReplyDeletePlease don't remove this as I will be using it as a reference.
EXCELLENT tutorial, thanks loads!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this helpful video!
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant video, thank you so much, it looks so simple when you do it, not sure why I have been struggling with more than 6 holes!
ReplyDeleteHi Dan
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me the name of the font you use in your PDF instructions? Is it a free font?
Many thanks.
It IS a free font, but I can't remember the name, or find it on my computer! I will keep looking, because it's a font I like. If I find it, I'll post the name here!
ReplyDeleteman you so rock!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant tutorial, I've had my bind it all for about a year and haven't used it yet but with the help of your tutorial I will be using it a lot now
ReplyDeleteThank you Dan
Doreen
I've had my BIA for ages, but do not use it simply because I could not understand the directions. Thank you for doing this video. For the FIRST time, I have a cover that has evenly spaced holes from both ends. I may now actually use this machine that everyone else raves about.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, easy to follow tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Ann
brilliant! thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video's. I love my BIA.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tutorial. You answered some questions I had and the idea of making the guide is a good one.
ReplyDeleteHi Dan, like so many others I have had a BIA for a long time and never took it out of the box, as the Zutter website video did not make me feel confident, but your video certainly did and I made 2 books straight away, as travel journals for my friends sons who are going to travel around Ontario, Canada, these school holidays in a motor home with their grandparents. As soon as I finish decorating the books I will be making more projects.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making my BIA usable and not just an expensive box taking up space in a cupboard. I really appreciate it.
Cheers, Kathy.
