| Step
4 Each folded sheet is cut to the desired page height. |
Step
5 She now has a loose stack of properly sized pages. |
Step
6 The pages are placed in a clamp. Shallow grooves are cut along the spine creating a small hole in each page. These holes will line up with the binding cords and act as guides for the sewing needle. |

| Step
7 Pages are now stacked inside one another a few at a time. Each stacking is called a Signature. If the book is to be a Scrapbook or an Album, spacers are inserted into each signature at this time. These spacers will provide extra space along the spine so photos can be placed in the book. |
Step
8 The signatures are now stacked and ready for binding. |
Step
9 Each signature is sewn around leather (or sometimes fiber) cords. |
