Since I'm going to be embroidering people onto my images rather than doing details, I'm going to have rather messy backs. For this reason I want to do French folds so that the backs of the pages are hidden. It's also going to make printing the pages really easy because I can just do them chronologically.
So I've been doing some research on this bounding and I found a handy site called The Design Student Resource which is pretty awesome, though I wish the 'how to's were a bit more in depth. Anyway, their French binding notes just say to fold the pages in half and use a spiral bind at the open end.
I hate spiral binds, because I think they're ugly, besides which they break really easily. The other bind the suggest is a Japanese stab binding, which I've found info on here. I think I might couple this with some kind of cover though.
ISH! LOOK HERE!
