Default Bind-It-ALL and 6 x 6 albums

What is the best coil to use for a 6 x 6 album? I haven't ordered by BIA, but I'm coming darn close as soon as I figure out all the details. I love to make 6 x 6 albums and want this classic look of a finished book. I've used ribbons, fasteners, and just binding by 6 x 6 paper, but really want this look. I know I should order from Bonnie....but want to get the coil right?

Thanks for you help.

Sheila

Shelia - it's not the size of the book (height) that determines coil size... it's the thickness. I found a chart online that gives recommendations based on the number of sheets and the thickness of your covers. Give me a few minutes - i'll look for it.

Wow - quicker than I thought it would take.

The chart on that page didn't actually list the coil size, just the length... Or did I miss something? You know, like 3/4", 1", 1-1/2", etc.

(Or maybe I misread the original question?)

I followed the link at the bottom of the page to get to this chart:

I need to bookmark both of the charts for future use... ;)
