5-Estimate how much thread will be needed for each hole (station): I’ve been measuring out 1 inch per page (count both covers too). You will need three threads. Wax the threads, and thread your three curved needles. Straight needles can be used, but they make this binding a little harder.
...
6-Set up for binding: best done at the edge of a table or desk, with remaining pages nearby stacked in order.
...
7-Start with the cover, holes towards you, at the edge of a table. From the inside, put the needle through the first hole in cover, to the outside (bottom) of cover; tighten the threads (gently), and tie the threads together into a knot close to the inner hole. I usually tie 1-2 more knots in the same place, for extra security. Repeat this step next 2 stations.
...
8-Then, take the needle thru the cover, this time from below the cover to the inside, and exit to the left of the first threads. There should be two loops visible on the outside of the cover.

9. a-Put First page: set the next page on top of the cover; and run :
a-Put the needle through this first page from the top, coming out between the first page and the cover. Exit to the left of the other threads

9.b-Gently tighten the threads, taking care not to tear the hole.
