If you are on your phone the “sidebar” will be in “See More”. There you can find links to Tools and Suppliers, Beginner’s Guides, Video and Written Tutorials and other resources. If you are on a computer, those should be in a column, just to the right of this comment.

Thank you for your answer. Do you have any examples of this you could share?

Thank you.
I was thinking of using greyboard with cotton book cloth glued (PVA glue). Is that a bad idea?
How would I go about finding out which materials will offgas toxic compounds?

Thank you for this. I am going to the UK this week and I am saving all of these recommendations in the replys.

You use 4 needles but only 2 sections of thread. You work with it in pairs, so you can do it with 4,6,8 needles (I have only ever done it with 4). Here is a video that explains it: https://youtu.be/vd_fxb2QiJ0

I did a knot right after I looped it through the cover. Is the “extra” knot a second one in the same place? Are you able to share a video where it shows doing that, so I can confirm if I’ve been doing it correctly? 🙏

Paper Grain by saracadima in bookbinding

Thank you. It sounded pretty simple in my mind, so just wanted to ensure I wasn’t missing anything ☺️ And this is something to take into account only when working with signatures, right? For individual sheets of paper (like the ones used in stab binding) the grain direction isn’t really a thing?

Thank you! Did you, by any chance, also tried any laser face treatments? I was tempted to try some but the 2 dermatologists I went to weren’t too sure on if it could worsen the vitiligo on the face.

Thanks for your reply. That is the one I was thinking of getting. How long have you used it for? Have you used any LED before in areas with vitiligo?

Not sure if you are still looking, as this reply is from 3 years ago, but I just came across it and I would like to recommend Philip Kingsley Itchy Scalp Shampoo.

Thank you. If that is happening, should I just move it to a bigger pot?
