This is a demonstration for sewing a blank book using the "sewn into boards" and link stitch method. Singled folded sheets of cover stock paper are used for the front and back covers. The sewing in the book block is similar to my other coptic stitch videos.
The paper I used for the folded covers (folios) is 100 lb card stock paper called "Construction" in the Night Shift Blue color from French Paper Company of Niles, Michigan.
The text papers that I use for blank books is a white sulphite 60 lb drawing paper from Dick Blick or paper from Canon sketch pads.
The book cloth is from Talasonline.com.
Many vendors sell PVA adhesive. This one is from Demco.com. They are located in Madison, WI.
