Thanks for creating and posting this--it's very well done and helpful.

Thank You. Your video was clear and straightforward. I made my first book. I love it and I know I will be making more. Thank you again

Really cool video... I learned a slightly different way to do this binding, but this was very helpful! Thanks for posting!

umm can you tell me what kind of papper you used and how many pages, and do you just make small holes in the papper? What kind of thread did you use?
Sorry this is a lot to anwser.

You can visit a recent post on my website to get a better understanding of binding thread. The link is in the more info under Jaescala above. Search for thread on my site. For paper I often suggest that you go to an art supply store and by a pad of sketching or drawing paper. It is a good source for early books. This demo used 4 sheet per folded section. you can use more if yo like. I make the holes with a shard awl once the sheets are folded. good luck - jim

The kettle stitch or catch up stitch requires that you go under the signature of folded section below the one that you are adding. Only one below. Meaning with each added section, you connect it to the section below. I hope that is clear. otherwise write back. Jim

Thanks! ONE under the one i'm working on, I got it!
Please do more videos YOU so have what it takes to teach this!!
Are you a teacher in real life?
