About Exposed-Spine Binding
Exposed-spine binding is a non-adhesive technique where the covers and signatures are sewn together, leaving the spine exposed. This creates a visually striking and durable book, with a flat-lay design that’s perfect for writers, artists, or anyone who appreciates beautiful, functional craftsmanship. This guide demonstrates how to use a single-needle technique to create a woven pattern on the spine.
