NOTE: For detailed SEWING video - I made this one: https://youtu.be/i7UX74eo12s Sketchbook Binding by Scott Teplin. I'm not trained but I've been binding my own sketchbooks for over 20 years. These books are central to my practice as a professional artist. I need my sketchbooks to be super durable, handle water-based media well without falling apart, lie very flat for both working in as well as scanning and feel really good to hold. So I kind of combined the tape method of sewing signatures into a case to bind a book that works best for me. In an effort to make this a watchable four minutes long I had to cut out some steps. I may include these stages in an extended version sometime if anyone interested.
