Craft Tutorial 1: How to Use the Crop-A-Dile II (Big Bite)

We R Memory Keepers came out with the Big Bite, a second version for their Crop-A-Dile; this multi-functional tool hole punches, and sets eyelets, snaps, and grommets.

This is a wonderful improvement and time-saver from the traditional hammer setters. Not only does the Big Bite make the use of hammers obselete, it can also cut through a wide range of different materials, including chipboard, fabrics, leather, plastic, and thin tin. And because it is 6" wide, and has a built-in ruler, it allows scrapbookers to easily reach the center on a 12x12 page. The Big Bite makes setting grommets and eyelets quiet, easy, and fast.

HOW TO USE THE BIG BITE

The Big Bite includes an instruction sheet, but for some reason, it is all in French, and does not include an English version. 

Luckily, all you really need are the two charts, the grids for the top and the base.


On the tool, there are two rotating cubes, one on top (each side of the cube has a letter A-D), and one on the bottom (each side has a number 1-4).

snaps................................B & 2
