Members Tina Posted July 4, 2009 Members Report Posted July 4, 2009 I suck at trying to explain things, so I'm hoping "a picture is worth a thousand words" :-) The first picture is the finished product and the second is the parts I have used. Draw your own pattern cuz these are just made to show meassurments and is not made in the right scale. When I assembly the front and back together with the ridge part I let it overlap a quarter inch.

Hi Tina. Just wondering if you skived the edges on your spine and covers before stitching together? Quote

Hi Hilly, I don't but I do use the keen beveler on all edges. I like them to "stand out" on the top (but I wish to do it on the backside...Need to get me a french skiver or so first) but my guess is that this could be made to anyones taste:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

MADMAX22 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks Tina, am getting ready to do a couple and this pattern will come in handy. Quote
Members KcKenny Posted July 9, 2009 Members Report Posted July 9, 2009 Stohlman does one of these in his case making books. He recommends skiving the front and back panels just beyond the stitch line of the spine piece. Then the liner lies smoothly on the inside and the scalloped edge still stands out on the front and back. Bob also does a beautiful version of this with finely burnished edges on the scallop. Love the look of it. ~Kenny Quote Thanks to all of the artists who are willing to share their experience.

carr52 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 First off I'd like to say I love your work. Second is that this came at a very good time for me. I'm making one of my grand daughters a notebook/journal and this pattern will come in handy. Thank you. Heres a pic of what I have so far. It's the same pattern I used on the bible cover I made for her mom. The thing on the right is the inside pocket. Tom Quote
