I thought I’d worked it out earlier using coptic stitch
across the spine but when I made the first one I decided I didn’t like seeing the
linking thread that joined the two rows of stitching. I also didn’t like the
way that you could see the loose ends of the threads when they were cut off
I have been experimenting and have come up with this
solution.
I’ve also been experimenting with different threads
(different colours and transparent) and have decided to use waxed linen. I like the way
the star pattern appears up the spine and I can use the thread to link to the wrap
around cover I’m thinking of using.
Unfortunately I’ve not got enough of the thread to do the
five books so this will have to go on hold briefly while I source more
