Also it is good to sand after trimming to have a perfect outcome, but you were very good at trimming very wll 😊

[@gLaw8]

Stunning!

[@softofu_]

I really like that you embroider your covers, the ones from your previous vids as well. It's very nice and unique! 😊 I'm getting inspired to try it myself!

[@rururereii]

Thank you! I do really like the look of embroidery, so I do it often. I'm glad that it inspires you! Good luck and have fun with your projects :)

[@custerranch]

The most helpful sewing demonstration I've seen so far! I need to repair a Bible with two loose signatures, and I have a better idea of how to stitch them back to the others now. Thank you!

[@rururereii]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad this is helpful for you :)

This is so useful, thank you so much! I have many PDFs I'd like to stitch together, so this is very useful for me.

You're welcome! Very glad that this video can help you :)

Very soothing ❤

[@SleepDocZZZ]

Would love to see how you make your book cloths! Love how clean, precise and professional your books / planner turn out!

[@rururereii]

Thank you so much! Maybe in future videos I will explain how to make book cloths in more detail. Although it's very briefly, I have shown how I make them on my other bookbinding videos if you want to check it out!

Lovely video 😊❤ what is the thickness of the spine and the covers?

[@rururereii]

Thank you! The spine is around 17mm and the thickness of the covers is around 2mm. So the total thickness of the spine is about 21mm :)

[@universelove6163]

Do you have a video on how you sew the cover ? Do you use a template to make the flowers ?

[@rururereii]

Unfortunately not, sorry! I drew the flowers by hand, and then embroidered it

[@universelove6163]

@@rururereii wow that’s amazing you’re really talented . Thank you 🫶🏾

[@rururereii]

@universelove6163 thank you for the compliment :)

[@winterlude100]

Just found your channel tonight and especially loving your book videos as I am new to bookbinding. Wondering about how you did the measuring for the spine and gaps. I noticed you kept the covers away from the spine when you measured. Is that because you already planned on a 7mm gap?

[@rururereii]

Aww thank you! So glad you like my videos! For the "board" of the spine, I measured the spine of the text block and added 1mm on each sides. For the gaps, yes I did plan to have 5mm gaps for the end result. But when I glued the boards to the fabric, I added 7mm of gaps to make room for the fabric that might get folded inside the gaps. So when the cover is glued to the text block, I ended up with 5mm gaps (the gaps are added for flexibility) *I hope it makes sense, sorry if it's hard to understand :( I might have to make a video on this to explain it! Thank you :)

[@winterlude100]

@rururereii Thank you so much for replying. I sort of get it except why do you add a mm extra to each side of the spine piece?

[@rururereii]

For me, I find that it makes the spine looks good. Some people make them the exact measurement as the spine of the text block, but when I tried it, I don't like the look of it. It kind of makes the covers look "pulled" to the spine? I don't know if it makes sense but that's the only way I can describe it lol. Some people also make the spine measurement with the spine of the text block + cover boards thickness, but I also don't like the look of that.. But feel free to experiment and have fun with it, good luck :)

[@winterlude100]

Thanks so much for explaining that. Yes I definitely need more practice. I hope you will have more book videos in the future, and I'm looking forward to watching and being amazed by all of the beauty in the other videos!

[@rururereii]

You're welcome and thank you so much! I will definitely make more videos. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions!

[@aybo66]

Great videos!!! I have a question - would in be possible to make the planner in A4, meaning to print the planner on A3-sheets instead?

[@rururereii]

Hi, thank you so much! Yes, I think you can :)

[@aybo66]

great, thanks for the answer! i'll start making one in a few days. so exciting!! what thickness do you use for the paper? is it 90g?@@rururereii

[@rururereii]

@aybo66 I actually use 70g for my previous planner. But it was kind of thin, so I want to use 90g for my next one :) Good luck with making your planner!

[@salonidoshi6889]

Can this cover pe spiraled? Like spiral embroided planner?

[@rururereii]

Do you mean the binding? Yes, I think so. But to my knowledge, there's a spiral cover machine for it

[@Mslizzybluts]

Do you have a video on embroidery??

[@rururereii]

I'm really sorry! I didn't film the embroidery process because this took a really long time and I was just in a hurry when making it, sorry :(

[@cake8751]

I know its a very weird question but I've seen some of your animal drawings and you draw them without face so does that have a reason or its just your style?

[@rururereii]

Hey! It's okay, it's not weird haha. It's just because drawing faces are pretty hard for me, and I never encouraged myself to learn, so I just don't do it lol. Although, sometimes I do draw faces with simple dots and lines

How many pages per signature did you use ❤?

[@rururereii]

Hello! I use 4 sheets per signature, so in total there are 16 pages per signature :)

[@universelove6163]

@@rururereii thank you so much . I love your videos 😊😌 last question . Is it possible to do a Coptic stitch with a closed spine ?

[@rururereii]

@universelove6163 thank you! Hmm, I'm not very sure about it, but I don't think it's possible.. Maybe if you want to bind the text block with a coptic stitch but make it with a regular hardcover, but then the coptic stitch won't be visible. I'm not sure about other ways, I'm sorry :(

What is the link to your Etsy shop for the planner download?

[@rururereii]

Sorry, it's not available yet! I had to make a few changes, so it's gonna be late. I'll add it soon. Really sorry

[@magueb]

hey there! can i ask what kind of paper you're using? it seems to have a tint of color?

[@rururereii]

Hello! It's called book paper (usually used for printing novels). It does have a tint of color to it, kind of like light cream color. Hope this is helpful :)

[@magueb]

@@rururereii Very helpful! Thank You!

[@rururereii]

You're welcome!

[@magueb]

Hey there! I bought your Etsy printable planner and tried looking for the book paper but having a hard time looking for something with the sort of tint the one in the video has. Do you mind sharing where you got your paper from?

[@rururereii]

@@magueb Hello! First of all, thank you so much for your purchase! I got my paper from a brand called storaenso, here's the link: www.storaenso.com/en/products/paper/book-papers/creamy But, I'm not sure if you can buy from there because I can't find the shop on their website. I'm just lucky to have a store that resell them where I live.. I'm not sure about the color, but the one that I can refer you to is this one from amazon: www.amazon.com/Natural-Cream-A4-Printer-Paper/dp/B07MCW1RSB/ref=sr_1_9?crid=17QZJ7WJ3W8GS&keywords=cream%2Bprinter%2Bpaper&qid=1676707411&sprefix=cream%2Bprinter%2Bpaper%2Caps%2C686&sr=8-9&th=1 and also this one: www.amazon.com/Neenah-01345-Classic-Premium-Natural/dp/B000RTLKFI/ref=sr_1_12?crid=13AVWGTA1DC06&keywords=ivory%2Bcopy%2Bpaper&qid=1676707909&sprefix=ivory%2Bcopy%2Bpaper%2Caps%2C568&sr=8-12&th=1 If you want to look for it, you can search "cream copy paper" or "ivory copy paper". I'm sorry if this is not enough, but I hope this can help you find the paper that you want!
