Evening Presentation:
**Kim gave us pre-cut book board s and spine last month to
cover and punch. We were to bring these
to the meeting and she made sure we all had waxed linen and needles and paper
for a jig. She demonstrated the Secret
Belgian Binding technique using the overhead and then went around to help out
where needed. Once we did several rows,
it started to really come together.
**Kim also showed us how to sew our sections into the
spine. There are links to 3 different
websites she recommends for further help on how to cover book boards and how to
lace up the binding.
