Скачать или смотреть How to Ladder Stitch Combo - Bookbinding Tutorial - Start to Finish, No Music

Start to finish bookbinding tutorial on how to sew a Crossed Ladder Stitch and Ladder Stitch combination binding.

I am a self-taught bookbinder and high school art teacher so tutorial is broken down how I teach bookbinding to my students. Feel free to experiment with other ways of sewing this binding. Measurements for this binding may also be adjusted to the size of the book you want to make.

All supplies may be purchased in craft stores or online.

Supply list:
Material for book covers - I am using canvas boards, but bookboard, mat board, repurposed bookcovers, and any strong upcycled materials that you can cut down and punch holes in may be used.
Paper for book pages - I am using drawing paper, but any paper is fine
Ruler to measure and tear down paper
Pencil
Scrap paper for notes
Cutting mat - not required, but very helpful!
Bone folder - not required, but helpful
Curved needle (easier to use than a straight needle)
Awl or any pointed tool to poke holes
Strong thread (I am using polyester bookbinding thread)
Beeswax
***Patience :)
