Attaching Signatures to a Rounded Spine Tutorial

[@lynnlindley9042]

I realize this video is 5 years old, but I just now found it and it was ENORMOUSLY helpful to me! Thank you so much!😊

[@lisamorales3914]

This is the method I’ve been looking for!!! Thank you Lord for letting me find you!

[@greenfire6545]

Glad I found you. Calm voice. No music. Can concentrate. Thank you.

[@KLThames]

This was one of the better videos for attaching a text block to a spine out there. Thank you so much!

[@maximilianjesse2961]

You probably dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend lately xD

[@kasondamien9895]

@Maximilian Jesse definitely, been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)

[@debbiecraven205]

The best video I have seen by far on how to attach the signatures. You are very concise and clear in your procedures. Thank You!

[@studiorat1766]

I’ve watched a lot of binding tutorials but this is by far the best I’ve seen. I’ve been making journals for a couple years both with the stitches showing and hidden binding. I’m always a Little nervous when I attach it to the cover because sometimes they just don’t lay right. The way you use the paper clips between each signature is genius. Excellent technique and well presented. No silly stuff just great information. I bet you’re a teacher! I’ve just subscribed and now I want to see your other videos. I hope you had a chance to do one on those awesome book corners.

[@sandratrent270]

Absolutely the best tutorial I have seen for attaching signatures!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@wesley5518]

Thank you so much for a great video. You have made this look simpler than most videos I have watched. Now wish me luck.

[@bittyknits6686]

This is by the far most helpful video I have watched out of maybe a hundred or so! I shall be using this method to make my first junk journal. Thank you so much for posting and sharing!

[@charliedale3029]

OMG, where have you been the last five months or so as I've been starting journal making? You're a godsend. Thank you so much. I think I've figured out what I may have been doing wrong......

[@TheJulieGallagher]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted my journal to still look like a book on the outside, and your instructions are perfectly clear.

[@TerriPike]

Thank you a thousand times! Easy to understand without all kinds of blabbing about unrelated stuff. Great tutorial!!

[@Iloveflowers2024]

Fantastic demonstration. The best one I have seen on this topic. A Huge thank you for explaining and demonstrating such clear instructions. I have subscribed.

[@sandy2216]

Thank you so much for this! I’m a beginner and this was extremely helpful. Your books look amazing!

[@wandabowring4816]

Thank you. I learned two new techniques that will greatly aid me in my own bookmaking. You did a great job and your technique for attachment was very clever. Good pace and good volume. Your generosity is appreciated.

[@monicamoreira8863]

Gayle, abs lovely work. TFS. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow.

[@patriciabrightwell196]

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm making my first hard cover book journal and didn't know how to attach the signatures. This video was great and to the point. Cheers, Patricia

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

Thank you for such an informational tutorial. You thoroughly explained each step. I can't wait to watch your other tutorials.

[@bertieboatright1206]

Thank you for this video,I have been attacking mine to the spine but I love the way yours lays Down so I’m definitely going to try this method.

[@embermoon7041]

So I've made a few journals before, but I could never get the end papers lined up correctly. I don't know, maybe I always measure them wrong or something. But, your technique for attaching the text pages to the cover works perfectly!!! Thank you for this video!!! I've been working on a new journal, one much bigger than the others and I've been dreading attaching the pages to the cover, until now. Thank you!!! :)

[@shari6110]

[@LadyLeda2]

A lot of great tips in this wonderful tutorial!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@ritastillwell3220]

What did you use for the spine piece? The piece you sewn the signature too. Thank you ❤

[@KimzCraftz]

Thank you so much for sharing, I've learned a lot from you. It would be great if you could show us how you make the corners for the books too, if you have time, lol.

[@aweezielchk]

Yes, I will do a tutorial on the corners as soon as I have time.

[@mlpisa8734]

[@carlamarlene2927]

i need your tutorial on how to make those corner pieces!!! thanks so much for sharing. i learned so much from this one video!!!

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Excellent video , so easy & something different...thanks

[@handfastingguru3642]

Your work is beautiful - thank you

[@marmaz57]

Marvelous! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!

[@sadheart24]

Thanks for sharing this technique. Do you have a tutorial on how you made the book corner covers? I am amazed that you made them with Kraft paper.

[@lynne3124]

Completely brilliant. Many thanks.

[@leshamcqueen8477]

Great job teaching us👍

[@donnacarraway9182]

Best tutorial out there! Thank you so much!!

[@carolvalenta]

Found this tutorial from 5 years ago. I would really like to see how you sew your signatures on, and also, can you use glue instead of double stick tape?

[@eugeniaamado8713]

Danke für die vielen Tipps,hat mir sehr geholfen

[@marthawest799]

I was going to ask you if that was tyvek? Love that tough luv! Love your design and thank you for sharing ❣️💫

[@louisazhou9984]

May I ask what is the purpose of adding the cheese cloth here? It seems to me that you could stick the binded signatures to the cover without it. Just wondering... More importantly, this tutorial is really helpful as I'm making my first rounded spine journal. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@aweezielchk]

I add the cheesecloth to give the journal more character. It isn't integral to the construction of the journal.

[@kimberlynorman2618]

Another great tutorial!

[@lynmitchell5109]

How did you make those corners from craft paper & how do you stitch those signatures together? Beautiful!

[@matildagentle3816]

Easy to understand. Thank you.

[@carlamarlene2927]

nevermind, i heard you say tyvek. i love that stuff.

[@joanmacleod1362]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is very useful. 🇨🇦

[@brendadorgan6929]

Thanks, I must try that x

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

fantastic tutorial - thanks so much

[@meeristewart3972]

Hello, I have one more question...do you show how to attach the signatures onto the piece of reinforced paper that gets attached to the inside of the cover. Do you use glue to attach the tyvek to the signature paper?

[@aweezielchk]

To attach the signature to the inner spine piece, I use a simple, straifht pamphlet stitch. I use Beacon adhesive (3 in 1, Fabritac, Fabri Fix) to attach the Tyvek to the inner spine piece paper.

[@sarahscraftylife8154]

thank you, I really enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you.

[@emmaline1121]

Hi! Love your video thank you thank you! You stated at the beginning of the video that you stabilized the spine with your "ordinary spine reinforcement technique". Would you mind telling me what that is?

[@maryjanesmith4261]

Just discovered your KZbin site. I’m very new to altered book junk journals. Do you have a general guide or rule to spacing your multiple signatures to your signature piece. Also a guide as to how many signatures based on width of spine. I realize the number and weight of paper for signatures impacts this. I generally use copy paper eight with perhaps a piece or two of card stock. Thanks so much. Your work is beautiful!

[@aweezielchk]

I do have a general guide. I make odd numbers of signatures. Usually five signatures. Each signature has a base number of five pages. I then add in flip outs, envelopes, mini size pages, etc. I mark the center of my spine and mark signature lines to either side of the center signature line. I make 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch spaces between my signature line. This depends on how full my signatures are. Hope this helps.

[@journalsbyjeanne6828]

This was so helpful. Thank you.

[@pdh8447]

Wow, this is awesome and unbelievably is almost exactly what I'd decided to do with mine except the tyvec (I was just gonna use something else). THANK YOU for this!! PatriciaD

[@chronicstitcher7933]

That is so cool....I want one!

[@margaretpinsent6388]

What sort of paper of card do you use to sew your signatures into? Great video, very useful, and I love what you've done 💕

[@aweezielchk]

I use designer paper or cardstock reinforced with Tyvek. The spine piece is flexible and durable when you use Tyvek. Thanks for your kind comment.

[@lisebedard7247]

How do you stitch the pages?would love to see a demo ...please.

[@maggiequilts]

Excellent! Tyvm. ....... how do you make the corners? ❤️🥰🇨🇦❤️

[@yvonnealvizo]

Great tutorial!!🙋🏻😍😘💕💜 TFS

[@lgene7232]

Thanks I enjoyed your video and subscribed

[@stanky6261973]

Excellent! Thank you :) I have just subscribed.

[@carlamarlene2927]

what kind of material did you attach your signatures to? like almost like upholstery vinyl but i can see it matches the paper for inside cover

[@donnatolle1419]

So, you don't have to glue the spines of the signatures to the book, just the side flaps? That's where I've been going wrong. TFS

[@aweezielchk]

Yes, the side flaps only. Works like a champ.

[@greenfire6545]

I m glad about this too.

[@adrinem4513]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@FridayFrida]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@Bluebird_Legacy]

Hi, Your tutorial is Excellent. Do you Always use "Tyvek" ? Or could I use Heavy canvas Fabric?

[@aweezielchk]

Canvas or muslin will also work. Tyvek is thinner.

[@cindythoms7246]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@ediewilson4043]

Very helpful.

[@thedomesticcurator]

THANK YOU!! Very helpful.

[@meeristewart3972]

Hello.....just found your tutorial..,.wonderful instructional video....what did you reinforce the spine with? It looks shiny silver? Thank you.

[@aweezielchk]

The inside spine piece was cut to measure from a Pringles can.

[@aprilfotos1204]

Love this you rock

[@lisahampton9065]

This is a great video I'm so inspired to make joirnals!! Do you have a video on how to put multiple signatures together ? And how do you sew each signature? I'm a complete beginner!

[@aweezielchk]

I'm working on some videos on journal construction. I have more ideas than time, lol. But, hopefully soon. Thank you for your kind comments.

[@lunarbloom3587]

Thank you again!

[@RozWilloughby]

Great video...thank you☺

[@karenyvettemendoza5583]

Hiii. 😄 What did you sew the signatures to? Just a regular price of paper? Before adding them onto the book

[@aweezielchk]

I use designer paper with Tyvek adhered.

[@whatjenren]

Thx for sharing!

[@bereketme5660]

Thank you!

[@cindywilder7277]

Where do you get the tyvek tape?

[@greenfire6545]

I enjoyed this. tfs.

[@lgene7232]

How do u make those corners

[@lsaez479]

Im a new viewer. Do you sell these journals?

[@aweezielchk]

I do sell them in my Etsy Sop - www.etsy.com/shop/CheekyCollection. I also take custom orders.

[@lisebedard7247]

Amazing.

[@eloisewalker352]

Thank you‼️

[@krystynaplattje671]

Beautiful

[@1NOTTOOOLD]

I don’t see any more postings from this woman. Is she OK?

[@leshamcqueen8477]

Show us how to make the corners

[@millana6292]

Thank you 🌞🌞🌞

[@charliedale3029]

Why not glue when fastening done the flap to the cover piece?? Double stick tape & glue? Beacon glue, right?

[@aweezielchk]

I find double stick tape on the edges secures the edges more securely than glue alone. Yes, Beacon thinned wirh 100% acetone for a viscosity that smooths more easily.
