Slotted Spine
Tutorial |
|
| Step Eight | Begin to Sew: Thread a needle with a comfortable length of thread. Place the first section inside the cover making sure that you orientate the guide marks (By doing this you align all the holes in the same position and allows for any variance you may have made when measuring, if you accidentally end for end the section the holes might not line up in exactly the same positions, causing the pages to line up crooked in the book) Begin at the first hole and come from outside to inside. |
|
| Step Nine | Pull the thread almost through to the end, bring the tail of the thread over the spine and tie. Do not cut the thread. |
|
| Step Ten | Sew in and out down the fold, finishing up on the outside of the cover at the last hole |
|
| Step Eleven | Take the needle over the outside of the spine and enter back into the same hole but do not go through the cover instead bring the needle out between the first section and the cover. Position the section correctly and gently tighten the thread. |
|
| The stitching on the inside of each section should look like this: |

| The stitching on the outside of the cover should like this: |
