This is the final step in making a Photo album/ scrap book. The old method was cumbersome: sewing signatures with tab/guards already cut, and then having to pack the book out with loose scrap paper for the normal binding operations like putting the book into a press. Making a book in the usual way and cutting the guards after binding saves a lot of time and eliminates worry about the packing moving out of position.

This video goes into the kettle stitch in detail and shows how to tie the binder's knot inside the book when your thread gets to its end. It also shows how to finish sewing the volume. There are other videos to follow that will go into adding end papers and lining the spine. If you have questions, it's best to get me through my regular email at my main website; sagereynolds.com I also have a blog and a Facebook page.

I messed up and didn't get the video of how I started--thought I was recording and it wasn't. I'll try to get that on the next sketchbook I'm making for Ann. Got to show some of the center stitching. Thanks for your patience.
