I'm looking around on-line to buy the Cinch but am not sure where to buy the binding wires. I find "this and that" but no system, i.e., for a particular color or size. It's more of a "search and see what one has available?" Any direction on where the best buys and varied assortments are??? Thanks so much!
I cannot figure out how to deide on what size coils to use. Can someone guide me. i watched about 50 tutorials, I have my instructions in front of me, and I have sent in a question to WR Memory Keepers. I just but my machine and made the cutest journalling book for my great niece that is on the way but I do not know what size coil I should use and I do not want to mess up my new little book I made.
Frustrated in St. Louis!!

By the way - I bought the Cinch and it was incredibly easy to use.

The standard way to decide is 1/4" inch larger than the thickness of your pages. If your book is 1" thick use 1 1/4" coil.
I have not used it yet, I'm too busy, but am excited to have this finally.
Also, make sure the coils you decide that YOU want to buy will actually calibrate in your machine (i.e., I wanted some other size too before realizing that size wasn't an option on the Cinch).
Also, this must be a corporate or business site as when I was checking out with a $25 order I was prompted to meet the min. requirement of $30.00. Long story short, they accepted my $25 order and were so kind and helpful to me on the phone.
I hope this was helpful. I was impressed with the help I got!!
Best wishes; chin up!

OK, in my proof reading I see the link spells out differently, above. The site is Binding101.com. When you click on Binding Supplies you'll find at the very bottom of the next menu "Wire-O Binding Supplies" to find the coils.
Yes, thanks so much Victoria! I had found that site also but couldn't find any way to find pricing or a way to add to the shopping cart. I couldn't find pricing details on The Cinch there, either, or how to order it. I became frustrated and disappointed and was happy to then find Binding101.com. I did order the Cinch through Amazon also (btw).
But thanks so much, I appreciate any help offered!
WOW! Thank you for this post
You made my decision such a *cinch*! OK, uhg lol.
Really though, I wanted the square hole because I like the looks of them much more than the round.
The fact that you can use eyelets totally changed my mind! I wanted to use elastic ribbon (using the ribbon folded in half and the two cut ends going through the loop...clear as mud, sorry!) in the holes with the hole supports but this is much much better for a journal!
Thank you so much! Have a crafty day

PLUS -- the Cinch holes are the perfect size for inserting 1/4" eyelets, which can really dress up a book.

Ok, I'm not sure if I should put my questions here or start a new thread.. but here goes. I'm also having a hard time figuring out what size wires to buy and where to buy them. BonniesBest only has blue unless you call for special pricing, which seems like a hassle.. but I'll do it in the end if I can't find them anywhere else. I'd rather just buy a few... even if I have to pay more per wire initially. I ordered my Cinch on eBay and it is supposed to be here day after tomorrow. I'm so excited. Eesh!! I need wires and chipboard, then I have the whole 'how do I cut the chipboard' dilemma. :(
I did see where someone posted to order wires 1/4 inch larger than the book is thick.. at least I think that's what it said. I need to go back and re-read that part. But I don't know how thick my book is going to be until I get chipboard. Apparently there are all kinds of different sizes/weights of that too. *feeling a little overwhelmed* Suggestions? Thanks!!
