Love the video. If you don't want two half hitch knots to wiggle out, this is a simple fix: tie the first one in a single direction, say looping the string from the rear towards you. Tie the next knot oppositely, pushing the string from the front to the rear. You have just made the Boy Scout's favorite knot: the unslippable square knot. It will break before it slips.

Great video, thank you for posting.

Really great post, thank you!

This is great - thank you for posting!

[@timpowers8395]

Great job!

[@loveworksnoevil]

Couldn't you use some sort of wax paper or ribbon paper to cover the ends/knots so you don thave to cut them? Great video, needed that, thanks.

Excelent video! What is the distance between the holes you punched on the signatures?

[@BrandonFDemery]

The distance between the holes varies according to the height of the book and the number of stitches. I would provide at a minimum more than half an inch between the holes, to prevent tears in the paper during sewing. For equal spacing, a six-hole book that is 8.5" tall would need to have holes that are 1.21" apart, and the top and bottom holes would need to be 1.21" away from the edge of the sheet.

What is the difference between this type of sewing and using cloth tape or cords in sewing those in like with a sewing frame? Thanks!

Durability and quality.
