My Beloved Community Dictionary, Bound
The linked blanket stitch binding requires a minimum of 11 hours of hand sewing to complete. The additional charge of 300 is added to the flat sheet rate for the Dictionary for this service, I will stitch them as soon as I am able, and will give you an estimated time of delivery on your request.
This stitched binding resembles a suture stitch and creates a beautiful net pattern on the spine. Each of the 74 sheets is sewn on separately. But I think it’s worth it~ it’s the thread equivalent of a spiral binding! Very elegant, very flexible. I chose red thread for the symbolism of a story I heard as a child, how we are linked together with people of importance in our life with red strings of fate.
