How to Stitch a Text Block for Case Book Binding

UPDATE: Since uploading this video, I've learned more about bookbinding and realize this is NOT a kettle stitch. I'm self-taught and came up with this method years ago to make text blocks for case binding. It's actually a combination of stitches, but at the time, I didn't know what to call it. Apologies for the incorrect naming!

A traditional kettle stitch is typically used to link signatures together on the outside ends to form a text block for case binding. If you prefer this method, here's a great tutorial by ‪@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks‬:    • Bookbinding Kettle Stitch
