Thread-bound books are a very special type of book, which are mainly bound using threads.
This is an important invention of ancient Chinese people. It feels good to hold a classical thread-bound book made by yourself in your hand.
What I want to share with you here is the standard thread-bound book production method. If you are interested, you can learn it.
Prepare materials and tools in advance, including needle and thread, nails, hammer and book pages.
Arrange the pages neatly and use small clips on both sides to completely clamp them.
Use a ruler to draw the places for the punch holes, keeping them in a row and at a considerable distance.
Use a hammer and The nails are driven through the holes at the mapped locations.
After piercing the holes, start sewing from the beginning. After sewing the upper left corner, sew alternately in order.
When the sewing time comes, sew back and sew the areas where there are no lines.
Sew to the starting point and knot the starting thread.

When making, pay attention to the binding direction of thread-bound books. Most thread-bound books are bound from the right.
