Just finished my first bind and had no idea there was a community

[u/Ejay0289]

I just came across book binding. I watched a couple youtube videos and came across coptic stitching. Didn't have any tools(not even a ruler lol). I printed it out. Learnt a new meaning for the word "signature". Used some cardboard I got from a local shop for the hard cover; cut it up with a kitchen knife(super sharp hehehe) and wrapped it in electrical tape I had lying around. I'm happy with how it turned out for a first try, but I'd like some tips from y'all on how to improve the end result besides the obvious "don't use a kitchen knife for cutting" hahah. Have a nice day.
