Bookbinding Long Stitch German Binding by Angela 20th December 2008 20th December 2008 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.
