    This video just saved me a lot if money. I have an autistic son that is obsessed with notebooks. I may lose more sleep but will save so much!

      @@tessamae4477 I'm not sure if you realize, but quotations around a word often indicates sarcasm. And the autism spectrum is just that, a spectrum. No autistic person is going to be exactly like every other autistic person. Many will fixate or obsess on specific routines, items, games, arts, cartoon characters, etc. but by no means is this a hard rule. In a world that is often confusing and overwhelming these fixations offer a bastion of calm and relaxation so long as they don't get out of hand.
      My nephew is still very young and has an obsession with toy cars. He collects them and will spend hours playing with them and caring for them. We all make sure he spends time outside playing and does his homework even though all he wants to do is play with his cars, but having them and having time to play with them goes a long way towards relaxing all the stress after social events or school.

    Just wanted to say that I've never tried any of this in my life, but needed a 40 page special booklet. I ran a trial using both the SADDLE STITCH tutorial methods and the JAPANESE Bookbinding tutorial, and they both turned out amazing!
    Your skill at making this topic not only enjoyable, but LEARNABLE is just off the charts.
    Thanks for doing these.

Im hoping she can raise enough money from selling the journals to rescue another dog in need. So thank you for helping with that!

    It looks as though the saddle-stitch binding is more secure and sturdy than pamphlet/signature binding. I've learned a lot from watching your vids--they're clear, concise, and easy to follow. You're one of the triad of ladies here, whose works I rate above all others. Thank you so much! (Oh--the others are ContadinaK and Joggles LLC--well, I'd better add Carolyn Dube's to that list, too!

    This is brilliant! I've started making my own A6 notebooks for journalling, but I've been stapling up to now, and it's not as precise as I'd like, nor attractive as this. This is a perfect solution, and a lot more straightforward than I thought. Thanks.

    They both use thread, but I think there are 2 methods. One which you can take multiple saddle stitch books and sew them next to each other on a cover. The other is the traditional method I believe, which has a different binding method, but looks similar.
