Eden Workshops - A Bookbinders Resource. Here you will find free tutorials, learn at home DVD's, equipment and materials.

:new: I just uploaded a video on Vimeo that demonstrates how I sew my book!!
It's uploading / converting at the moment, but go watch it when you can if you need some clarification *that I hope* I'm able to make here.

It will be available here

Here's a place to learn how to make your own book.

Questions I've answered:

q Does any needle work?
a Yes, so long as the thread fits. The holes in the book are made with the awl so the needle is only to guide the thread.

q How long does the thread need to be?
a I'm not sure, I just use about 2 feet and tie more on (between holes on the spine) if I run out.

Thank you very much! I must have missed the "Kettle Stich" part in your tutorials. XD This helps me a lot, and you did a very good job explaining it. ^__^

I've heard making tutorials can be hard, and sometimes it's harder to write one out than give a video one, I think this one complements your book binding tutorial well. ^__^
