Binder suggestions

[hmlentz]

My birthday is coming up and I'm considering putting a binder on my wish list. Which one do you all use and why? I was looking at one and it is really short.... can you line up a longer book and just punch and bind all the way down the book or does that limit you to a short book only? Is it still as usefull? Not sure I NEED a full length binder but I don't want to regret it later.

I have the Bind it All, the original blue model, which is one of the short binding machines, and I can do full size binding with no problems at all. I haven't used it in ages but I hope to get a bit more use out of it this year.

I actually wasn't aware there was anything else similar

I have a bind it all. I hate it with a passion. My friends have a Cinch by We R Memory Keepers which is easier to use and it makes lovely round holes That is what I would buy if I didn't have the BIA already

I have the Cinch also and I love it. It is very easy to use and there are now spiral coils to go with it.

I have the pink bind-it-all and find that every time I use it with a larger project that I have to pull out the instructions or else I mess up the project.

I have wondered about the Cinch ... I have a $100+ GC from selling my old scrapbooking supplies at the LSS and almost sold my bind-it-all in that last sale ... but couldn't decide since I didn't know anyone that had the Cinch ... still on the fence ...

i love my BIA, i use it a lot. takes a bit of practice to get used to it, but after that, it's a piece of cake.
