Angela 20th December 2008 2 Comments I made this book as a practice exercise to see if I could remember how to do the stitch from the Bookbinding Course I did 2 years ago. The course no longer runs but they do run a one day course in altered books now. Altered Books / Bookbinding Review of 2008 – asking myself these tough questions! → 2 thoughts on “Long Stitch German Binding” i would absolutely LOVE to learn how to do that. I think I would miss a few key points if i just winged it! looks good! :o) Reply Thanks Phoenix. It does fray the nerves a little when you are sewing it (through the hard spine) and the thread knots on you – plenty of shrieking! If you are very keen to learn (or just a glutton for punishment!) there is a similar version in : Volume I Non-Adhesive Binding:Books Without Paste or Gluehttp://www.keithsmithbooks.com Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.
