I saw a demonstration of the Zutter Bind-It-All at my local scrapbook store and knew I had to have it. Amazon had it for cheaper. This is one of my very favorite scrapbooking tools and allowed me to take the big leap from 12 x 12 pages loaded into scrapbooks to making gorgeous mini-albums. There are many reasons that this was so important:
- One 12 x 12 book usually takes a few weeks to make with my limited time
- 12 x 12 scrapbooks that have good quality are quite expensive
- If you have a smaller event you want to scrapbook, like a trip to an amusement park, a 12 x 12 is just too big
- 12 x 12 scrapbooks can be a little boring, everything is behind page protectors and you can't make interactive books
When I did my first few mini-scrapbooks, I used binder rings. However they do tend to get caught at the hinge sometimes and over time get looser.
So my Bind-It-All arrived and it was crazy how I was churning out mini-books. I was using it to chomp holes into and bind chipboard, thick acrylic covers, and even leather. Only once did I have a problem where the thickness of the item was too big and wouldn't fit into the slot to be punched (it was thick chipboard and I'd already glued paper and embellishments close to the bind like an idiot).
So here's some observations from the last year using it:
- You can almost always decorate your whole album, and then punch it, since the Bind-It-All allows for thick items. When you buy pre-bound books, you can't put patterned paper or embellishments along the bind edge. I think it ends up looking odd with a strip of white or brown at the side.
- It's a little hard to clean out. There's a slot that opens on the side, I waited too long to clean it and it was jammed in, I had to get a wire and pry stuff out.
- You really should watch the instructional CD to learn how to align your media in the slot, when to choose which letter for slotting purposes (cover, insert pages, etc), how to then re-align the pages so that you can perfectly space the next set of holes (it punches about 5 rectangular holes at the same time), how to count your coil before snipping, and especially how to position the front and back pages so that the coil end is behind the last page. I don't think I could have used this tool well without that help and the demonstration I saw.
- It's a very small unit. I go to crops so it's a breeze packing it and taking it with me. One side effect of this is that you have to be careful to hold the base down well when pulling back on the lever, the base isn't wide enough to not topple a little unless you hold it.
- As a great starter project, look for Theresa Collins scrap kits that are made to be used with the Bind-It-All. Her materials can also be purchased separately, such as her lovely book covers (the Zutter book covers are mostly boring square shapes).
There are other tools like this on the market now, like the 7 gypsies Binderie and We R Memory Keepers Cinch tool. In fact, my local scrapbook store has greatly decreased their stock of Zutter and increased the stock of Cinch binder accessories. The Cinch coils can be used with the Zutter.
In my experience, I never use the smaller coils. I think for every mini-book I've made, I've used the 1" coil.

Making small projects got easier, simple holes in cardboard, paper and fabric covered board with no problems... even cuts a cd! ALIGNMENT can be tricky... you need to practice before you do your first project. The wire binding is excellent and can be opened to make changes. Also good for making holes for other projects. Like doing art books, sewing through the holes. Becareful if you buy from people and not a business... I DID NOT get all the parts. You will love the cutter and find more things to do than just wire binding with it! You can do large punch areas with alignments that are given in the book. The only downside I had was not being able to find the wire binding locally and other binding does not fit. I bought the case to carry it in, works great, and recommend the spacer for small projects, it brings the holes closer to the edge.

Saw a video on this product and had to have one. I Love it... I have made so many things with it for my family and friends. I have also organized my scrapbook layouts and put a binder on them, now I have a less cluttered scraproom. You won't regret buying A-Bind-It-All. Victoria
