Thread the Needle Start with a length of thread, fold it over and pull the thread down between your fingers
until you get a small loop at the top sandwiched between your fingers. Thread the needle with this loop.

Bind the Book
Step 1
Cut an arm’s length of linen thread. Hold the book up with
the spine facing you. For the purpose of this tutorial, the
four holes will be numbered 1 to 4, starting from the left.
Sew the thread up through hole number 3.

Cut the excess thread and burnish the knot with your bone
folder. This will help keep the knot from untying.
