Thanks so much for this tutorial and a link to the directions. I just tried setting some eyelets based on your instructions and it worked perfectly. Much appreciation. - Abby

I’m so glad I found your video. I’ve had the crop-a-dile big bite for about 2 years and the smaller crop-a-dile for a year.
I could not understand any other tutorials about this item. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and also for the chart on your blog. That’s really going to help as I tend to forget. I’m a new subscriber! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello, I just want to thank you for explaining how to use the crop a idle in such a straight forward way, and the tip about not pressing too hard really made the difference. 😊

Thank you so much for this video, and the instruction sheet! I have a Big Bite that came with zero instructions. So I did not even know there were 2 types of eyelets! This helped me so much, your instructions were easy to follow and very clear. Thank you again! ♥

Thank you so much for clarifying the minimal instructions. The tip on turning the Big Bite upside down absolutely made the eyelets work for the style of eyelets with the little backing ring. I ruined at least a half dozen before your tips. Again thank you! I’ve had the Big Bite for years! It really is a handy tool for many different applications besides paper crafting.

Thank you for actually providing a legible copy of original instructions that we can download or print!!! This is something I could not even find at the manufacturer website.

You made something very simple when it seemed to difficult to use. I am bad about reading directions and just jumping in, for this reason I hated both of these punches because they wouldn't do what I wanted them to, , , now I understand and love them both ! Thanks a million !!

[lauriek]

I just found you tonight! So far I Love your tutorials! ♥️
Thank you so much 😊 I’m excited to watch more.

Finally, I have hope that I can set eyelets on my long arm crop-a-dile. When I purchased mine some time ago, I never received any instructions on how to use it and ruined so many eyelets that I gave up using it for that, however it is still handy for punching holes. I saw your video first and then went to your blog to print out the instructions. Thank you so much.

LOLLY, TY--your video is worth a thousand words--you made it so simple. TYA

[JohannesJunkJournalLife]

Thank you. No fluff, and right to the point! I love it. I’m going to pass your wonderful video on . My little channel might get bigger now!!!!

[anngallagher]

Thank you for this video. I’ve had the crop a dile for two years unopened ! When I did open it there were no instructions with it. Your video showed me perfectly and simply how to use it. Thank you again.

Wow I just saw you're video about this crazy tool. I've been fretting over this tool for years and you made it look so easy. I must try again. Thank you so much

[jackielubeck]

Oh this is great because I bought it and it worked (by chance) and then never again. Now it works...! Thanks to you. Jackie

[geraldineself]

Thank you for this tutorial and the instruction sheet download. Have a blessed day.

[amandastanush]

I know this tutorial is older but the information is always new. Thank you so much for sharing!!! I just purchased the Crop-A -Dial II, so I still have my instructions but I was still having a hard time of understanding how to use a very intimidating gadget. Thankfully for you I love my new investment!!!

[normawhite]

The best tutorial on the big bite, thank you. ❤

[SharitCreations]

Thank you the video was helpful and you did it at a slow pace. May God Bless You for sharing this video.

[kbaxterpackwood]

Thank you so much for this video and the instructions, my husband bought this for me yesterday for my handmade book making project and I didn't realize this tool did all of the things it does! I especially love that it sets snaps, and the flat surface face on the tool for setting flat stuff.

[amberlindsey]

I am so glad you posted this. I haven't used mine in forever and couldn't remember how to set it up for eyelets lol. Of course I no longer have my instructions because I have had it for about 15 yrs haha.
