Is a "signature" one folded page or a folded page within a folded page?

[jaescala]

If you use only one folded sheet, the thread can tear or rip it at the fold when you sew it. Traditionally we use 4 or more sheets folded in half. It just depends on how much paper you have and how many signatures you want to use. Just experiment but use more than one sheet. Good luck!

[messavoce]

Thank you for the instruction! What is the best way to punch holes into the signatures?

[jaescala]

Thanks for the comment. I use a sharp need or an awl. Awls come in all sized and prices. The least expensive is a dissecting kit needle or a needle in a wooden handle found in the clay area of a craft store. Just ask at a craft store and you will find one. Just remember that you the hole only needs to be large enough for the needle and thread. good luck

This is brilliant thank you! I needed to use this stitch without a hard cover attached and htis video helped massively!

[lolagoetz]

Thanks for this - I was looking all around for something without a hard cover. Your trick with the thread in the first section (cover in this case) was EXACTLY what I needed.
