If you make a book, tag me on instagram ! I would love to see what you create. Not to steal any ideas or anything (shifty 👀) 😂. @terrilisacreates on instagram… I rarely post but I do check instagram out a few times a week.
Keep your lovely books coming. I just bought the Thermal Cinch and I have watched several videos but yours have been my favorite! Thanks for sharing!
Will do! ♥️♥️♥️ Happy book binding!
Thank you for the wax paper tip
Hello I bought the thermal cinch and after watching your video I’m impressed with your top tips! I just kept hearing negative feedback and I think I’ll try it now 😊thanks Terri❤
I am so happy to help! Happy book binding!
Fantastic tips, enjoyed watching my first ever tutorial. You were great on explaining and showing really well. Thanks.
Great tips
Glad it was helpful!
Did my first book today, love the tip using the tape to align the pages as I had a couple pages off. I also had to give it extra time to heat. Thanks for your tips.
I am so glad I could help! Happy book binding!
Thanks for sharing the tips!!!
Thank you! Happy book binding!
Thank you for all the tips.
Great job! Very helpful
Thank you! I am so glad I could help! Happy book binding!
I’d love to see you open the book and press it all the way flat like you would use it. Do the pages still stay in or will the spine glue crack?
Anna Griffin paper is stunning !
Awesome❣️ TFS
Very helpful
I am thinking about investing in this machine. Are there any tutorial on using this machine from beginning to end using those strips and putting in those acetate sheets I see you used?
The first lovely book you made only needed one strip of glue? Can you share how many pages of that nice paper you used in that one? And where do you purchase your acetate?
Tip #5 was a great tip
Thank you! Happy book binding!
Thanks for the tips….I ordered of these to do homemade scrapbooks with scrapbook pages for individual events. Do you think you can do one with photos and embellishments.
I do. If you are using the photo directly into the glue, I recommend you make sure you have a good digital copy first.
The embellishments will make the book thicker, so if you want the spine to be the same width as the other side embellish first, if you don’t care then you can make the book first. Happy bookbinding!
Have you tried using signatures?
hi.. i did 3 books and i had to reheat them each 3 times.. maybe the machine is defective .. should not take 3xs to make 1 book..TFS
Humm, that sounds like too long. I only put mine in for 1 extra minute. Maybe try another outlet and if that doesn’t work give the We R Makers customer service a call?
I think my heating element wasn't working correctly I heated my books twice. They both had copy paper only a few sheets and pages still fell out. I wish I would have seen this video sooner. I returned my cinch today. 😢
Mines is the same way.. it took 3x”s to make 1 book to melt the glue.. I gonna keep mine because I signed up for the auto ship.. and I will keep trying..
I am sorry to hear that! I hope you get it sorted.
Thanks for sharing the tips.
One thing, it makes no sense to me on the idea of wrapping corners. Why would you want to wrap the corners of the book, before sticking it in the machine? If you have enough glue, you do not need to wroap the corners of the book. The glue should do the job of holding the book in place, as well as the binder clip. You do not need the wax/parchment paper. you are wasting paper. Why make more work for you.
So the glue doesn’t seep out the side of the book. My first few the glue seeped out, messed up the outside, and the top and bottom of the pages are weaker because they have less glue.
The parchment paper collects any glue that seeps out, just in case the edge tape doesn’t work.
If you aren’t experiencing these issues, then you can skip those tips and just use the ones that help you. Happy book binding!
