How To Join Threads

1. Tie a knot on the thread attached to the book.

2. Make a loop in the thread you are adding on.

3. Pull the knotted thread through the loop up to the knot.  Do not pull the knot through.  Let the knot stay as close as possible to the edge of the loop.

4. Pull the loop closed, pulling on the knotted thread to keep it as close as possible to the loop.

5. Tighten the knot as thight as possible.

N.B. Always make your knots within stitches of the spine, so they are not visible.  Cut end threads to about 1/2" or thread the long ends through the stitches of the spine.
