Timestamps: 00:00:05 what you will need
Covers
00:00:25 let’s start with the covers 00:02:14 trimming the edges of the covers 00:04:24 cut the corners of the covers 00:05:27 glue down the top and bottom edges 00:08:07 pressing in the corners with a bone folder 00:09:15 gluing down the sides
Endpapers
00:12:53 glue the endpapers 00:14:10 smooth any air bubbles with your bone folder 00:16:48 press covers flat to dry
Signatures
00:16:52 divide your paper into 8 groups of 3 00:17:49 fold each group of 3 in half and smooth with bone folder
Punch Holes for Sewing
00:20:24 punch the holes in your signatures for sewing 00:22:27 press the signature flat 00:22:33 punch the holes in the front cover for sewing 00:23:59 punch the holes in the back cover for sewing (2 ways)
Sewing
00:25:53 time to sew 00:26:14 thread your needle 00:26:32 sewing the first signature to the front cover 00:34:20 attaching the second signature 00:35:23 tip for sewing 00:38:38 sewing the end of the signature 00:39:01 attaching the third signature 00:43:02 attaching the fourth signature 00:46:21 attaching the fifth signature 00:49:28 attaching the sixth signature 00:52:44 attaching the seventh signature 00:55:47 attaching the eighth signature and back cover 01:05:24 finishing the book, tie a knot and tuck under
Tips: • try not to use too much glue, only apply as needed • be gentle when using your bone folder, you don't want to tear the paper • to measure the thread (if you don't want to use the whole 3 yards), you need 8x the length of the spine plus about 20 inches for the thread on the covers. I always make sure to measure out another 5-10 inches to ensure I don't run out when sewing. If you do run out, you can attach more thread using the weaver's knot.
