@@SharonHoerth Sharon, I see that you have finished your signatures and then put the pages in the book. I was just going to put blank signatures in the book and then decorate pages. What are your thoughts on that? Is it because you can measure how thick the signatures are and adjust?
@SharonHoerth Жыл бұрын
Every creator does it differently, so I think you have to see what rhythm and order works best for you. My regular routine is to fold all my pages/signatures together, then decorate the pages, then make ephemera and insert them into the pockets tucks, etc. and then finally sew my signatures in. There are several reasons I do it this way. I find it way easier to add a pocket, stitch, glue, stencil, etc. on my pages when they are not sewn into the book. That way I can remove one page at a time, work on it on my work mat or take it to my sewing machine, and then put it back in place when I am done with it. I also add all the ephemera to the pockets, tucks, etc. before sewing signatures in. Once I have everything done, I remove the ephemera pieces, sew in the signatures and put the ephemera back in. Because my journals are usually heavily embellished, this allows me to see how thick everything is getting. Sometimes it requires me to expand the spine, separate the signatures into two journals or remove some of the ephemera. I prefer not to have too much of a gater mouth for my journals. 😊 Hope that helps! 💕

@@SharonHoerth It does help. I will gage how many pages I can Incorporate before I commit to adding or taking away. I know I can get carried away with adding volume to my journals. Thank you so much! I think it would be a great idea for you to market by the yard) the measures you use for the signatures. It would be a great business. It’s so hard to figure it out. With solid measurements, it would make it easier. Thank you for all your help. ❤️❤️

Is it best to fill the signatures with ephemera first and then stitch them together or stitch them together and then add the ephemera?
@SharonHoerth9 ай бұрын
You can do it either way. I usually fill with ephemera first to see how bulky the journal is getting before sewing in. When finished with ephemera, I remove it all, sew my pages in, then add ephemera back in. This gives me a chance to look at the page spreads several times to see if I want to add anything and to make sure everything is holding together okay. Hope that helps!💙
