Learn how to make an A5 or square format (150mm x 150mm) sketch book with an exposed stitch binding. You will be using quality cartridge paper, so it will be ideal for using as a sketch book or for keeping notes. You will be introduced to bookbinding techniques including:
- how to fold and cut the paper to prepare your sections
- how to pierce the sections
- the technique to neatly cover the cover boards with decorative paper
- add decorative corners to the covers, time permitting
- prepare suitable endpapers
- use a coptic stitch (and if desired a French link stitch) to sew the sections together and attach the boards
Please note this style of binding is not trimmed after sewing so the edges are not as even as the flat-back book.
