@joywingert1513 4 жыл бұрын

I find it very helpful to use a blunt needlework needle to sew in the signatures. You can't poke a new hole and you're not going to drive a needle into your finger by accident.

Thank you so much suzie! I so appreciate you taking the time to make this tutorial, it was easy to understand and your instructions were clear. I don't think I would have thought to get dimensions on the pages after removing them , as I always seem to do things the hard way . Thank you for all of your tips!!!💜

You're so welcome Melinda. It took me a long time to figure out an easier way to get the page size. I always do things the hard way...lol.

Thank you very much for demonstrating this, Susie!! You took what seems to be a difficult task, and made it look super easy! I've only recently started making journals. I have used envelopes to create some, which involves using only glue. And have done a pamphlet stitch, and recently, done twine binding. I love them all. This is a very "neat" way to do it. Love the hidden spine look...!! I'm definitely saving this easy to follow video! Hugs 😘 Suzy x

This is an awesome tutorial. An alternative to this would be putting the packing tape on top of the chipboard before sewing the signatures on it with some hanging over the sides and then sewing in the signatures and attaching to the spine.

Great books! Love the Signatures. 😍 The collage was precious. (That doesn't "look" correct? 🤣) You made hidden spine look so easy. I felt very clumsy when I did my 1st one. I'm gonna definitely try this, when I "Destroy" my 1st actual book. 😱🤣😭

It holds fantastic. I haven't seen any problems with it lifting so far.

@richvictorynow 4 жыл бұрын

is that tool you use to make a hole in the spine able to make a hole in a hard cover book for the purpose of a ring bound book?

Yes. That is the "we r memory keepers" cropidile tool.

I've never murdered a book before. Does one just pull and the inside comes out easily? I'd be afraid of ripping the cover.

@creativecafegirl 4 жыл бұрын

It's pretty easy to gut a book. Most vintage books are not glued to the spine, so all you have to do is run your xacto knife down the inside covers to release the book pages.
