Bookbinding..

Just a thought, girls. If you want to get your pages folded before you come it would be a good idea and save a lot of time.

I've got a load of A4 sheets and it would take some time to fold them in half, so I'm going to do it before and then we can get right on with the stitching.

Lou once the sheets are folded do we need to cut them in half? Or do we sew them down the middle??

Just fold them, Kate and then leave them.

Yes maam *salutes* Oooo this is all kinda exciting now!

good idea !!

Oh, sorry, Kate. Did that sound bossy? Didn't mean to, hun but no, you don't need to cut them, they'll be stitched.

Oh my goodness - I used to love yumyums before I became
diabetic. Hmm - maybe that's why I became diabetic

I was thinking of bringing a pack... may not be a good idea me thinks! lol

This is all very book binding related isnt it

and what the very devil is a yum yum then??

a twisted sugar dougnut stick. very yum yum indeed.

Lorraine, getting back to the subject at hand Do we just fold them as is, or are we folding in sets of 4. You mentioned before about division by 4 thats why I ask.

They will be in fours, Karen yes. So if you want to put them together after folding individually, that's fine.

OK sounds like a good plan, adds to list of to do's.

ok thanks Lorraine. Could I heck as like find where I'd put this question. had to go into your posts and read back til I found the answer

BTW I have a small pot of BB glue if anyone hasn't got any - I don't think you
need a lot of it - well, according to Princess Puinf;lair LOL

thanks steph xx

Sure I must have some. Will put extra in when I put mine in.

thank you honey bee x

I've got two rolls of grosgrain ribbon if any one needs it.

Ooh yes please Billie as that's something I haven't got.

Me too Billie please x

Yes please Billie.

I've got some but am not sure its right width, but will see on the day. Thanks billie and steph

Is there a specific width, I should have done this earlier, just realised my bandage is probably the wrong sort, it seems very tick, will go and do another raid on the first aid cupboard

ruth, Lynda has some bandage she is bringing. I've not got any at all so will be begging her. She did say she had a lot of anyone wanted any. Also Patty has mountboard.

My ribbon is about 12mm wide, so probably enough really, its only a small book (A6), so three pieces spaced should be right.

Just realised I've got no thread so hopefully another borrow from someone please.

I'd better put another roll of the ribbon in my case LOL.

Oh and I have cut my paper down to A6 before I folded them hope thats okay, only wanted a small note book.
