Hey, Bunnings sells a heat proof ironing mat, for $27.83. It's 90cm x 60cm. I haven't bought it (yet) but it might help with that pattern coming through.
Is 'heat n bond' interfacing? I have so much interfacing at home and its iron-on where it bonds with heat, so is it the same thing? EDIT: okay, nope. This isn't quite that. But I got a very sturdy interfacing that I feel would remove the need for tissue paper, but does that work generally?
In actuality, the stuff you offer has been really beneficial to us. Please answer this simple question for me: What is the proper thickness for the book cover? and book spine? thank you.
Omg so helpful! I also love that you’re a fellow Aussie-it makes finding the materials so much easier. Thanks!
Ah your tutorials are so wonderful and clear! Thank you for this 🥺🤍 what a beautiful result!
Thank you 🥺
That’s so helpful 😊 thank you for much for showing how to do this. I’m also in Australia so it’ll be good to be able to make my own ❤
It makes it so much more accessible when you can make it yourself!
Thank you for this!

Thanks!!!
Such a good idea!!
Thank you!
Thx you very muuuuuuuch
Can you use fabric Glue instead of heat and bond?
Ooh I don’t know! I’ve seen some people make a starch mixture but I haven’t tried it myself
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Is it possible to use viscose or polyester fabric for the book cloth? Or only cotton?

Can you also just use the cotton fabric for bookbinding?
It wouldn’t work because the glue would seep straight through the cotton fabric!
Wow. I JUST bought a fabric for a rebind (my first). This is soo helpful.
Perfect timing!
