I’ve always been interested in the super ornate decorative bookbinding technique called the Caterpillar stitch – it looks like it sounds – actually, it looks a bit more like \u00c2\u00a0a centipede…but bleeegghhhh centipedes are so gross! I’d rather say it looks like a caterpillar! Anyway, for an upcoming gardening themed book I’m making as a special commission I thought it would be neat to integrate a caterpillar! I used this helpful caterpillar stitch tutorial video<\/a> by Mike Commons<\/p>\n

Here’s part one of my Caterpillar binding efforts – I decided to try it out on raw book board because I thought it would look neat and it was handy. I am not sure if I’m doing it right, but I thought I’d sew up the book using coptic stitch as usual except for the sewing stations that I’m going to have the caterpillar “cross” the spine on.<\/p>\n
