Awesome tutorial!  Thanks for NOT taking us through your day of “sorry my dog is barking, I just woke up, and I’m getting my nails done today”.  You got to the point and did a perfect presentation; very clear and concise and answered all of my questions, especially how to make my own spines (and how to adhere them after the book has been heated).  Cheers! 😊

Thank you for showing that opening. They refuse to admit that it doesn't lay flat. I wish they would be more transparent. Great tip, and thank you very much!

Great tips!  I like the idea of gluing the spine down after it's glued and the extra scoring.

And now! We have the Cinch Stack Cutter coming out in June!!!
That is going to be a game changer for sure! Can’t hardly wait❤

PS I have seen other videos where once the book has been heated and before setting it in the cooling area, take the book and tap it firmly against the spine on your desk or table to make sure pages get down into the hot glue.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve had my cinch for about six months now and have just been totally wanting to throw it out the window. You have showed me how to use it correctly and I so appreciate this. It’s nice that you share this and we thank you as the crafting community. God bless.

Thank you that was the best review I have seen on Youtube. Yes lots of people just flick the books and I want mine to open flat. I have ordered one and eagerly await it's arrival I was beginning to think I had made a huge mistake because all I had seen were problems. Huge thanks.

Thank you for a great tutorial. You explained it well, stayed on point and what I enjoyed the post, you explained how to get the book to open like a professionally made book. That part really had me confused until now. I purchased the Cinch from HSN and they go through demos so fast but I felt the Cinch would be more attractive than the binding machine I was using. Most of the books I will make will be 8.5x11 with about 10-15 pages. Again, thank you for making this tutorial and all your good hints.

Thank you!!! I just purchased because you explained and broke it down to my understanding!!!

I've watched this video a few times and I love this machine so far!

I just got this machine for Mother’s Day and your video is super helpful!  Thank You!

I bought glue strips on Ali Express and they work perfectly. The good thing with the ones I bought they are very thin so you can use as little or a lot depending on what size book you are making. Cost was very cheap for a hundred and a good length. I live in Australia and I'm very happy with the results. Cheers Jan

Excellent tutorial!  Thank you.

I love how you teach. I have this one my Christmas list for this year as I don't seem to be able to do the spine part of putting together journals. I watched one two days ago that made me take it off the list because it was to short and didn't go into the detail I was looking for. I am now subbed, liked, alarmed and commented to your channel and looking forward to more things I need to know.

I’ve purchased, via HSN, but haven’t used it yet. This video was most helpful to me when I get started on making my Mother’s Day books.
Thank you for sharing.

Straight and to the point.  No fuss, no muss.  Thank you.  I heard a local store may have these real cheap.  Im assuming JoAnns fall offs are now hitting the other, we want your left over, stores are grabbing.

The Dollar Tree sells these cute, cheap, wall pictures and I get them a use them to cover stuff like books.  There picture "paintings" of the ocean and beach sceans work great for art deco and will make great make yourself work book covers.  Ill give them out as gifts.

Thanks for the tutorial

Excellent tutorial! The best I have seen and I have watched many
