For those with Iphone, the Block Tool is available as an App. I have it on my ITouch and it works great. Very easy to use.

I must admit that since I got it bound, I can't put it down. It's such a fun thing to hold now. You can't imagine how excited I am. It's the little things that make me happy.

i spiral bind all the free patterns i print off the internet. i try to collect a few that have a common thread -- scrappy, fat quarter, etc. then have them bound. i can store them easily and find i refer to them and use them more than if they are in my filing cabinet.

I have had several of my quilt books spiral bound at the office depot stores. Very cheap to have done.
They have several sizes of spirals depending on the size of the book. Works really great!

We had our embroidery design book from Dakota spiral bound for the embroidery business. So much easier for us and the customers.

I think so many of us do this with our books that the publishers should consider it to begin with. It really helps and less than $5.

Great idea!
I would have thought the peg could be snapped open, so you could remove any card from the stack any time you wanted.

I bought a book making machine from ABC distributors for $20. It is made of plastic. Haven't tried it yet.
