While making the Build-A-Bear kits with the kids last weekend, we decided it would have made a more tight, secure seam to have the pre-punched holes a little closer together (although that would have meant more stitching for the kids, and honestly, they were reaching their limits by the time they were done). But that is what brought about my friend mentioning a Zutter. Which, she said, is what a friend of hers had, and she thought it could punch through almost anything, so why not furry teddy-bear fabric, too??!

Being the information hound that I am, I began the internet search for a Zutter.

It turns out that Zutter Innovative Products is the company name, and Bind-It-All is the name of the gadget that can punch and bind. Apparently it is used to make Owire bound journals and other projects. The product information says it’s a dual action machine that can punch and bind chipboard, acrylic, clipboard wood, canvas artboard and more.

Now, I don’t know if a Zutter Bind-It-All would be any good at pre-punching teddy-bear fabric, but at least now I know what it is!
