Even More Bind It All Info

Oh, this is great! Susan over at the Gingerwood forums worked up a chart that lists the cover sizes, inner page sizes, and the number of holes in the spine for the various sizes when using the Bind It All--no more guesswork when you're trying to figure out how many holes there will be when you're making a project of a particular size. Thank you, Susan!

Here is the chart: http://www.gingerstamp.com/binditall/

And don't forget that if you're still trying to decide what size coil to use for your project, I have a coil chart on my blog: Coil Binding Chart

There are also other tidbits of information scattered throughout my blog RE: the Bind It All. Click on the Bind It All label below to see all of them. Click on the coils label, too, because there's some info that can be found that way as well.

Coil Binding Chart - revised

Oh, what a task this turned out to be! Little did I know what I was getting myself into. Here is a revision of the original coil chart that I posted. This chart is specifically for 2:1 pitch double O binding wire, the kind used in the Bind It All. The sheet capacity is approximate and is based on 20 lb bond paper. The total thickness includes the thickness of the pages as well as the covers--essentially this is the thickness of the materials to be bound, plus 1/8", if that's easier to remember.
I think this puts all of the info that I've gathered into its most useful form. I am now officially putting this topic aside, at least for now. :-)

Bind It All addendum

I found a chart that gives approximate sheet capacity for the various sizes of 2:1 pitch double loop binding wire. I thought this was useful when considering what size coil to use for a project.

I purchased my Bind It All at Bonnie's Best. I bought my 5/8" coils there, too. She has great customer service and very quick shipping. I was thrilled to see that she now stocks several more sizes of the coils for this machine and in white as well as black. I think I may have to get some of those smaller coils!

ETA: Please note that I have revised this chart. Please see post: Coil Binding Chart - revised, if you arrived here via a direct link.
