  • @chelseyummali
    @chelseyummali Před 2 dny

    Im new to bookbinding. Im a homeschool mom and i want to incorporate bookbinding this coming year as our handicraft skill of choice. Can you recommend a webshop to get our materials? We will be starting from the basics and working up to more difficult projects as the year progresses. Also do you have a list of everything someone may need to start? I watched one of your beginner CZcams videos, but i think you were sharing bare minimum basics. Id love a good healthy list of everything one could get to do basic to advanced projects. Last question, Im a textile dyer. In Particular I work with natural dyes and linen. Is a heavy linen a good choice for book binding? I cant say Ive seen you work with fabric yet in a video...

    Where do you find large pages of end paper? All I can find is 12” squares and I need bigger ones for a larger book rebind.

    • @bittermelonbindery
      @bittermelonbindery Před 7 dny

      In the US - Blick, Paper Source, Mulberry Paper and More. If elsewhere, search for “handmade paper near me”. Nepalese lokta is an affordable and available option you can look for.

    Brilliant tutorial, thank you. I did get confused, however, once you did the kettle stitch and the camera angle changed. Did you do kettle stitch across left to right, then the french stitch from right to left with the next signature?

    • @bittermelonbindery
      @bittermelonbindery Před 7 dny

      Kettle stitches are at the head and tail, french links in the middle of the spine on every signature. Doesn’t matter which way you do your kettle stitches, as long as you’re consistent!
