STUDIO BRIEF 2// Book Binding

Today I took the printed pages of my publications and used black tread to stitch bind along the spine. The binding process is fairly simple and I used the same technique for each booklet.

The results were pretty successful, the books open alone the spine very easily and the pages don't shuffle or hang at all. I will take a few pictures of these books and evaluate them In another post. One problem I did encounter was that the inkjet ink runs fairly easy, and during crafting it was a huge challenge not to smudge the pages during the process. Overall the quality is good, I used a sharp craft knife to trim the edges straight instead of the big book cutter, which appears to be broken.
