[@deborahleeke7298]

Hello all. The eyelets without the splits usually come with little washer type rings. If you place the washer onto the flying saucer, the eyelet in the hole, hover over the flying saucer and gently press the handle until you see the stick going through the eyelet then full press. With that you get a very smooth fixture. I usually tilt my crocodile so I can see everything is where I need it to be then I stand up and use my substantial body weight to press.

[@stefanie006]

Deborah, Thank you very much for this additional information!

[@joross8081]

Thanks so much Pam for these fantastic instructions. My Big Bite just arrived this morning and thanks to your instructions I've already used it on some tags. Your videos are always gold! 💖

[@praywithyouafew7210]

Best instructional video ever! You have a gift- thanks for sharing it with us in such a detailed manner!

[@Karin-]

Pam, you're a life saver. I have the small version cropadile, but it's just about the same principal. I haven't done any crafting in so long, but ready to start again and was ready to throw the silly thing away.. not anymore, I love how you explain things, thank you so much for preventing me throwing mine away 😊 I think these people should reward you, because their instructions are as clear as mud 🙄

[@ThePaperOutpost]

So happy to hear you will be back at the craft table having fun! :)

[@sherrytyson4321]

Pam I have had this tool for 15 years. I found your video and brushed the dust off of it (literally)! I have set more eyelets today than I have in 15 years! Thank you so so much for this!!

[@clairehampton986]

I thought the directions that came with the implement were sadly lacking. This makes so much sense. Thank you!

[@eloisenunez8512]

I have one and never learned how to use it for eyelets. Decided to try & learn for Tags & Journal cards. So very happy I found your channel as I learned so much, finally 😅. Thanks ❤

[@jillstmichaels8708]

OMG Thank you SO much, Pam!!!! I was gettin ready to chuck this dang thing out the window!!! 🤬 You give GREAT instructions and I THANK YOU!! I went thru way too many "instructional" vids on this Crok thingie...and not one of them was easy to understand. Til I found you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 😘

[@boojay111]

who would have thought that to understand the machine you need to know about fat and thin sticks, flying saucers, flowers, anchors and squashes. You explain things how I do 😂

[@ThePaperOutpost]

LOL, I am sure there are more technical terms but my manual is loooong gone ;)

[@ETHANNAH1902]

Hats off to Pam for teaching stuff , just because people need to know

[@Psalm139v13]

I purchased this tool about five years ago and NEVER used it. I needed to be able to cut wholes in leather and vinyl and remember that I had this machine. Got it out and looked up how to use it and found your site. Thank you for your help!

[@barbarahasman6514]

Thank you soooo much. I have not done eyelets because I was so overwhelmed by this. You have simplified it beautifully for me. 🤗🤗🤗

[@janyeh7712]

Yes, you saved me too. I asked hubby to help me learn this Crop-A-Dlie Big Bite which I've had for 7+ years. I don't do mechanical/tool learning easily. He doesn't read directions, but will look at picture guides. Needless-tp-say, we aren't a good fit for teacher-learner. He stormed off because I didn't get it. I learned so much from you and relaxed and laughed at your expressive descriptors. Thank you for doing this video! I can scratch off learning the crop-a-dile on my To Do Craft List.

[@kathynelson3903]

Your video is by far THE best! Thank you. I can now use my big bite with confidence!

[@user-iy3wk6nx3v]

You are a hoot!!! I will watch this again and show it to others just because it is so much fun!!! And super informative.

[@diaelaine9188]

I've struggled with this machine so thank you for this tutorial.

[@shirleyjackson3893]

I did it!!! After watching other videos and failing, I almost gave up. Watched your video and it worked!!! Yay me and yay you Pam. Many 👍 thanks

[@tulannimciver8379]

Love this tutorial, you explained this well cause I was lost. Thanks

[@April4YHWH]

Oh, my liege!! Love this! I recently bought one of these and the eyelet settings were a bit of a challenge. The eyelet & grommet settings are lettered on the top rotating cube and numbered on the bottom rotating cube: 3/16” settings are A1 = A is top cube and 1 is bottom cube. The 1/8” is 3C. Because I have both 1/8” and 3/16”, I committed to memory. It’s hard to see the letters and numbers so I rubbed some nail polish in them and wiped away the excess to reveal the imprints of the characters better. There’s also a chart in the online owners manual that I took a screenshot of so I always have it on my phone. I wish I would’ve known about the teeth on the back of the eyelet before I bought some - mine are solid and they split but it ain’t purty. Luckily I’m still in the experimental phase and not too worried about how they turn out. Thanks, Pam!!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I hear you! I tried memorizing the chart thing, I made a copy , proceeded to lose it immediately,,,lol,,,no surprise..I just thought if I can find one setting that works well all the time I will stick with it. After much punching..alas!

[@April4YHWH]

The Paper Outpost I have a proposition for ya... could you do a video demonstrating a vast array of examples of standard and clever ways to use eyelets and grommets in our journals? Please...? I’ve seen a couple (an eyelet in the lower corner of the journal cover with the TH loop pin & a bauble is the only example my brain with cough up at the moment... oh! and obviously as a way to thread ribbon through for a closure), but would love to incorporate more of them. Oh! And brads, too!! My AliExpress Fairy is bringing me a boatload of brads and I am itching to put those little babies to work. I used to be a sheet metal worker in a former life so any kind of metal, tool, and/or hardware makes me geek out. Don’t get me started with embossing metal...that’s what got me into this mess in the first place!

[@MarylynBroomhall]

Thanks Pam, love this 'how to use this darned thing' video. Great tutorial!

[@cheryls_creative7048]

Perfect! This is so useful! I didn’t know about the split eyelets. Really clear instructions. The manufacturer should watch this! Brilliant! I hope you’re ok!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Hi Cheryl!!! Thanks and so nice to hear from you! :) Be well dear crafty sister! :)

[@RitaJo125]

Me either. Wish they had explained that years ago!!! Every time I look at that intimidating monstrosity Good Will donation is calling. Glad now I can use it!!!

[@gailcohen4449]

That was great! I just love the way you explain things - you speak my language 🤗

[@pamelaburke9250]

Absolutely the best tutorial! Thanks. Took the mystery out of it. Thanks!

[@trixie1556]

Thank you!! I can remember the flying saucer and that 3 is bigger than 1 ….lol…made it very simple!💜

[@rebeccagable9629]

I've watched several crop-a-dile videos top see clearly how many & what sized holes come in these & you showed clearly the hole sizes--TY!!

[@Mindyscraftsandcash]

Thank you so so much. I’ve had my big bite One for several years and never set an eyelet. Today I finally had some success, even though it’s a little hard to see the numbers on the bottom part. I see how they improved that on big bite too.

[@janiajohnson6405]

Great video! I finally learned how to use this tool that has been sitting in my craft room collecting dust. Thank you so much 😊

[@traceypomroy3217]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this very simple tutorial! Game changer, you saved my life! 🤪😎

[@leerowley70]

This has taken the mystery and intimidation out of this machine. It’s gone from I don’t know to added to my wish list! Thank you!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

Awesome! Have fun!! :)

[@amyjo1293]

I bought it in my Michael’s for 41 dollars with my coupon by phone. Check your local. I love it lot. Easy on my hands. Good luck.

[@leerowley70]

Amy Jo Evans I will do that as soon as we open back up! Great advice!

[@lindafuller9529]

You are a star, Pam! Thank you for this. It has taken the complication out of using this. As you say there are tutorials on using it but like most tutorials made by the suppliers of items they do not scale it into simple terms like you have. We (or I need) more tutorials by people like yourself who takes the mystery (and again complication) out of using things that are supposed to help us in our JJ. Thank you again!

[@annwoleben5439]

Thank you for this explanation. You are a great teacher!

[@redd4poetry]

I love the terms we can all understand, Silver stick and flying saucer! 🤣 I have had my crop-o- dial for 2 years, but was hesitant to try. Thanks for clear relatable directions!

[@ThePaperOutpost]

I am so happy to hear this!! :)

[@Judylou09]

Agree 100%!

[@lynnblair9320]

Thanks Pam - big help! I can stop wasting my eyelets now!! LOL!

[@clovermark39]

So glad I found this. I have the orange big bite and have struggled forever knowing how to do it. Very well explained. Thank you.

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

Thanks, love how to remember the difference between the numbers too. Great tutorial thanks 🐦❤☕👍☕

[@patreed9879]

Thank you! You are a great instructor!!!!!😊

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Perfect! Thanks for that Pam.

[@lisabertram8199]

[@2062349]

Thanks Pam you are a joy to follow

[@lisamorales3914]

Thank you, I needed this so badly!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@pattiehartmann8771]

I watched with my fullest attn. Now if only I had one of those contraptions. 😛😛😛

[@ericastannard2635]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I tried to figure this out on my own & it wasn’t very successful! Now I get it, with your excellent directions!!

[@susancarroll8628]

I'd given up on eyelets YEARS ago, because I kept mangling them. But a recent project required them, and this video finally explained how to do it in a way I could understand. SHAZAAM! IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@smaibes]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Once I watched your video, I was able to acutally use the tool!

[@kathynelson3903]

I want to thank you for this very educational video. It’s helped me so much. God Bless you.

[@sandycampbell4190]

Recently purchased one! Love that you showed the ins and outs! Woo Hoo. Thank you.

I'm so glad!

[@tchaug6364]

Thanks Pam so helpful. C

[@pfmastin]

Just rec'd one via Amazon yesterday and have watched several videos. Yours is by far the best one as you are a super teacher. I couldn't figure out via the directions which direction the letter/number should be facing. Love your videos and thanks SO much!

[@deserthorses5]

Thank you! Very helpful!

[@cindybrewer2040]

Thinking of buying one. Your instructions were helpful!

[@4kiitieslady]

Thank you for explaining this contraption to me. I certainly couldn't figure it out!

[@delawurl5938]

Thank you so much Pam! The directions don’t come with much in the way of pictures that really work, and I found your easy explained steps so much nicer! Thank you so much, once again.

[@jennieadamsMM]

You have shown me things that move I didn’t even know! Thanks! 🌸💕🦋

[@joystone6460]

Thank you so much for this video! I have a ton of grommets from leather making and thought I could use them for paper. I will buy some of the eyelets now.

[@janwright3003]

THANK YOU!! Your video was truly the easiest one to follow and learn how to set eyelets. Just like you, I found the settings (silver, copper, flat, etc.) cumbersome. Now, I'm VERY comfortable using my Crop-A-Dial II. 😊

[@NailsJamieBeeReSeller]

Thank you for this!!

[@debrapiletz2650]

Thank you. I needed this.
