Description:

So I've noticed that we have some newbies who are a little unsure of their book binding skills. This swap is for you!

Make your equally newbie partner a mini journal, (under 3 inches). Try and use a "sewing" binding technique, (eg, Coptic, Japanese stab, text block) DON'T just make an accordion fold book and call it good, we really want to learn how to bind here.

There are a ton of good videos on YouTube and some excellent books you can nab from the library!

Give it your best shot, NOBODY is allowed to rate down for this swap not being perfect, this is a newbie swap.

Happy Binding :)

are non-newbies allowed too? I wouldn't mind trading with people who're new at this.

Non newbies are allowed too, remember to rate fairly and give lots of encouragement :)

smokeyquartz1980 - the mini journal i sent you...is it bound in a way that would be acceptable? i have not taken any classes, or read any books on binding, but just started doing it. i know my stiches are not perfect but they hold! so something similar to what i sent you, would it be acceptable for the swap? tell it to me straight now! lol
