Bookbinding: French Link Stitch

About this course

This workshop introduces the French link stitch, a binding method in which folded paper sections are sewn together while the spine remains visible. Participants use the technique to make a hand-bound notebook, with attention to the decorative spine and the way the finished structure opens and lies flatter than many traditional bindings.
