How to Stitch a Text Block for Case Book Binding

UPDATE: Since uploading this video, I've learned more about bookbinding and realize this is NOT a kettle stitch. I'm self-taught and came up with this method years ago to make text blocks for case binding. It's actually a combination of stitches, but at the time, I didn't know what to call it. Apologies for the incorrect naming! A traditional kettle stitch is typically used to link signatures together on the outside ends to form a text block for case binding. If you prefer this method, here's a great tutorial by @KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks: https://youtu.be/5DZFTZDwT50 ⟡ Shop My Favorite Supplies on Amazon*: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sealemon ⟡ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sealemon RELATED VIDEOS • DIY Text Block for Case Binding: https://youtu.be/XGQ5P8QVHSg • Bookbinding Supplies Playlist: http://bit.ly/BindingTips • Bookbinding Methods Playlist: http://bit.ly/BindingMethods • DIY Book Projects Playlist: http://bit.ly/BookProjects MY SUPPLIES • 8.5x11" 70 lb. text in warm white*: https://amzn.to/2JbDT8C • Awl*: https://amzn.to/2rx5l6v • Cutting mat*: https://amzn.to/2I4fhPn • Sewing needle*: https://amzn.to/2I7fv8t • Sewing thread*: https://amzn.to/2I69M2s • Beeswax*: https://amzn.to/2IWlDN5 • Scissors*: https://amzn.to/2IpB7w5 My Amazon Favorites*: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sealemon Arts, Crafts & Sewing Best Sellers on Amazon*: https://amzn.to/47C1tT3 Top Craft Supplies & Tools on Etsy*: https://tidd.ly/41ZuKpo Shop My Stationery & Downloads*: https://tidd.ly/3gLXZIP Shop My Patterned Paper*: https://bit.ly/SeaZazzle https://instagram.com/sealemon https://www.tiktok.com/@heysealemon https://facebook.com/sealemon https://pinterest.com/sealemon MAIL Sea Lemon PO Box 1333 Scottsdale, AZ 85252 USA MUSIC CREDITS http://us.audionetwork.com DISCLAIMERS Links above marked with (*) are affiliate links, which means I may earn revenue or credits (at no extra cost to you) via those affiliated sites.
