Interesting! I think it's a little expensive, but I can see myself using it.

It looks interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing more examples of it in use.

Wonder if it can be used on a good quality thick regular 12 by 12 page protector with no sleeves.

It looks cool - think I'm going to get out my little hot knife kit and see if it works along similar lines!!

I am not a pocket page scrapper but I want one for adapting my 12 by 12 sleeves and mini book stuff. In the past I have tried to fuse with a kitchen sealer, also tried my husband's burner tool- not successful. I hope this thing lives up to expectations!

Wonder if it can be used on a good quality thick regular 12 by 12 page protector with no sleeves. That's exactly what I was thinking! I'm betting it will since the We Are made it and their protectors seem thick. I'm not a bug tool person, but this is one, if it works good I could use a lot. I'd like to convert a bunch of the 12 x12 protectors I have to different pocket styles and alter some of the pocket styles I have from packs to a lay out that woks for me. |

Where the HELL was that thing when I was putting together the albums for my sisters for Christmas?!!! I had a ton of photos from when we were younger and 90% were not 4x6. I ended up matting them all on 4x6 pieces of cardstock/patterned paper (and I had no Mat Stacks, so I was making my own!) so they wouldn't slide around the pocket.
It probably wouldn't have saved me time, but the pages would have looked a lot cuter w/just the photos in them.
Damn!

This is at the top of my list. I will use it for customizing mini albums.

I saw that on their Facebook! I love the idea. I'm not a pocket scrapper, except for with December Daily, but id be awesome for all kinds of stuff! I think the price is pretty reasonable for the type of tool it is. Plus it will be at Hobby Lobby or the other craft stores and you can use a coupon.

I like! I frequently sew a special pocket when I want to include extra photos/info to a layout. Since I scrap 8.5 x 11 there aren't a lot of ready made options out there. I'll have to check this out and perhaps retire the sewing machine.

this tool looks useful in addition to fun! the ability to customize pocket pages, custom-size them without having to sew or tape them... I admit, I am a bit of a tool junkie, but I think this would be one I'd actually use. |

Wonder if it can be used on a good quality thick regular 12 by 12 page protector with no sleeves. that's what I am wondering too. I want to know if it actually gets hot enough to fuse thicker plastic and if that fuse will hold. when I first saw it, it reminded me of this heat tool (one of those "as seen on TV" things) that was supposed to seal plastic bags just by sliding it across the top. well I fell for it and bought one and the dumb thing never heated up enough to fuse even the cheapest, thinnest plastic. I now plastic pages for SBing can be thick so this will really be a test for this new gadget. I love SBing tools and if this one is good, I will definitely buy it. I can envision encasing stuff in plastic and fusing it into shapes. |

It looks pretty cool.
I'd want it to make sequin pockets.
But nearly $30 is a little steep without a coupon. I could swallow it for half price with a 50% off coupon, though.
But only if it worked.

That is brilliant. Plus $30 seems cheap, and that's ACOT pricing so it'll probably be a lot cheaper on Amazon/etc and even cheaper if the brick-and-mortars count it as a "tool" and not a "machine" for coupon purposes.

This tool looks very promising! I absolutely love new tools.  Don't want to highjack the thread, but I was Just wondering because I have lots of health problems… does anyone know if there are any smells that might come about from fusing the plastics or even any harmful chemicals (or whatever else) I should be concerned about? My scraproom doesn't air out well and I don't want to go outside to use the tool. Thanks! |

So, I just watched the video and on closer inspection, I'm not sure about it. This thing fuses a regular page protector together, so if you're making funky sized pockets, they'd better work for both sides of your page, right? And once you fuse a pocket, the item is in there forever unless you cut it open? Am I getting this right or am I confused?

And once you fuse a pocket, the item is in there forever unless you cut it open? Am I getting this right or am I confused? I may be totally wrong, but the way I thought it worked is that before fusing the pocket, you could put chipboard in (to "hold" the pocket space), and then after fusing, you could make a slit at the top of the pocket (slightly below the fused top of the pocket). If you are careful, you just slit through one side of the plastic pocket. Or, is it possible to just fuse the bottom & two sides of a pocket and leave the top open? |

Yeah, I want to see some reviews on this! I am burned out on sewing so I don't want to use my sewing machine to sew up pockets.
If this works and I could use a coupon, I'm in.
