Hand-Stitching Zines (Or Other Small Book Things)
A downloadable zine
What if you want to bind a zine and not use staples?
What if your zine (or notebook, or sketchbook, or ...) has more pages than staples can comfortably handle?
This zine explains three simple stitches for hand-binding small soft books of all varieties: saddle stitch, an 18th century chapbook stitch, and stab stitch.

There's nothing quite like a hand-stitched book(let). I would love a volume 2 or some follow-up for more exotic methods if you have any!
This was really interesting to read! Thank you for sharing, I'm going to give it a try!
Awesome! :D And thank you kindly!
