    I was debating which one to get when I saw this video. But then I watched your video on how to punch 4 holes using the mini cinch. I like the look of the spacing on the sides, even with the 6 holes. So I bought the mini today 😊. I'm planning on making smaller books so it should work fine😄

    This was very helpful. I have a tendency to buy small versions of craft items to save money only to eventually prefer the larger size, and then end up with spending money on both. Your video helped me to decide the larger one is more what I would prefer to own. Thank you!

    Thank you so much! I had to double check the mini cinch description on the website and the only place I found that said it used 5/8” wire was on the back of the package. To me, the fact that it only works with one diameter of wire is the most important factor, and I wouldn’t have thought about it if I hadn’t seen your review. I guess you could close the wire by hand but that defeats the purpose of buying a binding machine. Thanks again!

    • @craftingwithpaula

    This video and the one about the mini, are very, very helpful. I am wondering if the leftover sections of the wires can be used by putting them together to form a longer wire for larger notebooks? If so, can wires be intentionally cut in sections so as to make a multi-color binding? Also, I like to make refillable items for myself and to give away. Once the paper is used up, can the cover and any dividers be removed and put together with another stack of papers for cinching with a new wire?

      There are two kinds of regular cinch. One of them accepts the spiral, because it punches a round hole, but the one I showed is the one that only excepts the other kind of wires. Be careful when you buy them because you need to know which kind of wire you were going to use.
