Another Greek binding. Another monster of a book with 600+ pages that uses 4 needles at one time per stitch. I sewed this for a friend for whom the emotional toll of the binding proved to be too much. I just came from Greece and miss it terribly but this binding is diabolical and at the moment I can't really forgive them for it. It's getting easier so I will prevail... Anyway, have left it for her to decorate and I will never again make such a thick book.
This is a monster of a book. It has 20 signatures and more than 600 pgs. This is a Greek binding which at one point on each stitch uses 4 needles at once. The Greek binding is kind of stressful for the uninitiated learning from a book...this is the first book whose making of made me cry a little. But it's gorgeous. A strong, gorgeous binding that I have no doubt will hold up over time.
