# “How it works” video · binding a hand-sewn notebook in a small craft workshop

SUMMARY AND SCOPE
Core idea: a sewn notebook starts as folded sections that are joined with
thread and protected by a cover.
Covers the four steps described by the workshop. Does not cover paper types
or drying times: the material provided doesn't mention them.

STEPS
S1 Fold the sheets into sections so they open flat. [provided]
S2 Pierce the spine of each section using a template. [provided]
S3 Sew the sections together with waxed thread. [provided]
S4 Glue the spine and attach the cover. [provided]
   Glue drying time: [to verify]

ANALOGY AND WHERE IT BREAKS DOWN
Sewing the sections is like tacking several pieces of fabric along one edge.
section = fabric · waxed thread = tacking stitch · spine = shared edge
Where it breaks down: tacking is temporary and gets removed; this stitching
stays for good.
