Talk to me about Bind-It-All and other book binders...

[wvasweetness]

If you have one, which one? How often do you use it? And for what? Do you have pics of projects you've used it on?

Have you seen that new book binding/laminating machine that just came out - I think it's around $100. I saw it at AC Moore - it's called something Story Book? Or Story-something? Anyone know anything about it?

My mom got 1 for Christmas. It's called the MyStory and it's by Provocraft. It's a laminator/binder. Don't know the specifics, but it binds pages together like a pro-bound book.

Yes, that's it! I'd love to hear if anyone has used it or know much about it.

WOW! I'd love to hear about it too!

[ColleenSwerb]

Pretty sure it just smushes and glues the pages together, lol.

I have a bind it all, it's useful but I don't make mini books often enough really to warrant spending the money on it. You did just make me remember that I owned it!!

I have the Bind-It-All...got it a few months ago and finally just used it last weekend. Took me a bit to figure it out (I watched the DVD that came with it but it was like a really bad infomercial and didn't give ANY info whatsoever...I ended up going on YouTube and finding tutorials instead, lol). Now I'm sure I'm going to use it for LOTS of things.

I don't think I'd use one that laminates things, personally. I just don't like the looks of it (laminating, I mean).

[ColleenSwerb]

I doesn't laminate everything, it just CAN laminate. From what I can tell, the Your Story binds pages and album covers together like a professional glue bound book.

I got a Bind it all about a month ago and it's great. I made a bunch of calendars for Christmas and I have some mini books on the way. It was a little intimidating at first but I just practiced on some scraps and it got the hang of it.

I have a bind it all. I probably use it twice a month. I've used it on calendars & mini albums. You can see some of them here, here, and here

I got my Bind It All this summer, and have used it for quite a few books... ok probably 6. I like it and LOVE the look of wire binding. Start up cost with the binder and materials was a bit pricey, but I know that I will use it enough to be worth it. Have you looked at their Blog? http://www.binditall.blogspot.com/ There are some good ideas there.

I have a bind it all, too...love the wire binding, which is perfect for adding lots of ribbon. Yummy!

I got one for Christmas! Woot! Haven't used it yet, but I hope to make some Valentine's Day projects with it.

I got a Bind It All at the end of October and used it to make several color, number and ABC books for the little kiddos in our family. My boys LOVE theirs!!
