Any tutorial on how to print or print settings for the inner notebook page?

[@Stellaaa1989]

One thing I cannot let go (and no one talks about) is when you need to cut the papers that were sticking out at the end, that would mean those pages will have LESS margin. Do they not look funny? how do I go about perfecting them? Thank you for such great and informative videos!!

WOW I'm very glad I found this video - it's so much better than the 10 previous ones I've watched on the topic! Thanks for sharing so much killer information.

Thanks for the lovely comment! You’re very welcome ☺️

I always sew my notebooks (I like it doing by hand, but if I'm in a rush or have a lot of work, I can also use a sewing machine), because I absolutely hate staplers. Nice video, thanks.

[@ullamorozova]

What’s the maximum number of pages we can sew?

[@Hee_Illustration]

Wow this looks so great! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I thought I need a commercial grade sewing machine to make a notebook! I should try!

[@LacunaMoon]

Amazing tutorial Meg, glad you managed to get it reuploaded, the joys of editing! The notebook cover idea is definitely genius!

[@HoneyPlumPaper]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!

[@fizzandflourish]

I must admit, one thing I forgot to mention was that I’ve had notebooks manufactured in the past and I was super disappointed with them. Especially after the amount of money I spent on them! I’m so much happier with making them this way 😍

[@ginakrollpaperdesigns]

Genius!!! 🤯

[@AndreeaEremiaArt]

I love your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@fizzandflourish]

Thank you Andreea! It’s great to be uploading them again 😍😍

[@shaniquemason3702]

Thank you for the tutorial! I've been wondering how people are creating their covers for so long! Do you think the greeting card cover idea would still be a great option if I wanted to use disk binding instead of stables or sewing?

[@Rita-ib6on]

I’ve been considering the sewing method for a while but hadn’t found the time to look it up properly. Thanks for this great tutorial. Would you mind sharing the thickness of your needle please? X

[@fizzandflourish]

Hey! I don’t remember off the top of my head, but I linked the type of needle in the description below! I’ve used a thickness of 14 or 16 before but I’d recommend getting a needle that can work with denim, as it’s designed for thick heavy duty fabric! The one I linked should be universal 😊 so glad you found the video useful!

[@JerinJuha]

the link provided for gutermann thread in the description is same as the needle, can you provide the correct link for the thread or can you give the information about the thread you used like it's size and material. thank you for making this great tutorial!

[@fizzandflourish]

Oh whoops! Thanks for noticing! Here’s the link: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001AQOM7K/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_7DTFDF9815413FJG04MA?linkCode=ml2&tag=fizzandflouri-21

[@GreenApplePomme]

Great tutorial! Just one question! I'm making the notebooks with the dot paper on the inside, when I go to trim the whole thing at the end...the dots along the edge is different on every page (sometimes the dots are right at the edge, sometimes there's a margin between the dots and the edge of the page)...is there a work around on this? The only solution I can think of is print every single page with the dots shifted over to compensate for the trimming...but that seems super tedious. Hope this question makes sense haha

[@albanysrodriguez8665]

Hola, me pasaba igual así que opté por imprimir pocas hojas, máximo 15, inténtalo a ver si te funciona. Saludos.

[@Stellaaa1989]

I have the exact same cutting machine and it doesn't cut straight. is there a setting, tips, you recommend?

[@BeckyDoughty]

Hi Meg - thanks for this tutorial! Question: do you laminate the card stock covers? Or are the cards glossy?

[@patreecemcintosh8036]

What is the maximum number of pages that can be stitched?

[@anacorcoz3476]

Loved the tutorial! what size is the greeting card that you use?

[@fizzandflourish]

I get an A5 card (so it’s an A4 piece of card that fold to A5) but you can chose any size you want! I’ve made A6 notebooks before and they’re really cute!

[@anacorcoz3476]

@@fizzandflourish I am at the research stage, but I have so many ideas that I want to bring to life😍 and your genius has helped a little bit more! Thank you!

[@saitdesigns]

Meg how are you printing your covers so they are ink fast ? Is it using toner?

[@fizzandflourish]

Hey! I explain in the video how I’m outsourcing the covers 😊 not printing these myself anymore!
