4-Mark the three holes on the cover, spaced evenly along the inside margin (1 inch to 1/8th inch), and punch with an awl or small hole punch. Use that page as a template to punch the remaining pages (about 1 to 3 at a time depending on tool). Each hole is will be considered one station.
...
5-Estimate how much thread will be needed for each hole (station): I’ve been measuring out 1 inch per page in the score (and count both covers too). You will need to measure out three threads; one for each needle.
...
11-Continue as above, setting the 3rd page on top, (a)-inserting the needle through the hole from the top, while exiting between the 3rd and 2nd pages. But then, for (b)-for the locking stitch, go two pages down (which puts the needle between the second page and first page this time), exiting to the left as usual. Remember to gently tighten the threads. Repeat for the next two stations to finish the 3rd page.
...
12. Continue the third page pattern for the rest of the score, putting each page on top; (a)-inserting the needle thru each hole from the top to bottom of page, and exiting between the current and previous page; then the (b)-doing the locking stitch, two pages down, right to left; and tightening each thread between each stitch.
...
c-Then tie a knot close to the station hole in the cover, and tie one to two more knots to completely secure it, and tighten all the knots(gently). Do the same for the next two stations, then trim the ends.
...
14-To increase longevity, I glue cloth binding tape over the spine to protect the spine stitches during shelving and general usageuse.
a. Measure the thickness of the spine without compressing it.
...
c-Put wax paper under the score. Spread PVA glue on one side of the tape (but not the marked spine part); : try not to get glue in the center). Insert another piece of wax paper between the cover and the first page, then press down tape on the front with the score closed, then and once the glue is slightly set, turn the score over and spread glue on the other side of the tape, then insert wax paper between the cover & last page, and press down the tape to the back cover. The station threads may form slight swellings.
