Binding Recommendation
I strongly recommend having your favorite pattern books spiral-bound. 
Most of the craft books (knitting, twining, and quilting) are soft bound.The books aren't too practical when I need to actually use them. Often the binding becomes broken from my attempts or it slips all over the table or off of my lap. 
Once I discovered that I could have the books spiral-bound at Kinkos, my books are in better shape and I am much happier. Personally, I wish publishers would produce these books with spiral bindings.
Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteNow why didn't I think of that:):)
ReplyDeleteThank is a good idea, especially for my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler book.
ReplyDeleteI too think the publishers should ship spiral-bound but then also thought it would cost more to ship because the spirals will get bent, etc. Sooo, I think we are just going to have to do it ourselves. I choose the ones I think I am going to use the most to spiral bind. Sometimes I even put 2-3 together if they are small ones.
ReplyDeletewhat a cleaver idea!!! May I ask approximately how much does it cost to have one of these books rebound with a spiral binding??
ReplyDeleteI know of 2 favorite books I'd have rebound with spirals... ;) thanks for sharing!!!
You should send this in as a tip to Fons & Porter!!! they give free magazine subscriptions to any ideas & tips that they use... :)
