I don't do anything before gluing the fabric, but I have found that using plain old tacky glue in a very thin (smoothed out with a Q-tip) layer for the outside of the book and then a hot glue gun for the inside end pages works best with fabric. Also, I use recycled hard bound covers and recover them, as opposed to any cardboard or card stock type which tends to wrinkle with glue. Anyway, hopefully that helps. :)I like felthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696725292874412779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277569541734798430.post-39846372498842060092010-01-25T12:43:30.014-07:002010-01-25T12:43:30.014-07:00Quick question, if you do not mind. . .when you me...Quick question, if you do not mind. . .when you mention you used a cotton flannel for the cover, did you do anything to treat it to keep the glue from soaking in? I spend the weekend at a bookbinding class and we were talking about using scrap fabrics for covers, but I kept hearing about an intermediate step to coat the fabric first, which I have not yet researched. <br /><br />Thank you,<br />Mary<br />P.S.

I am taking some classes in bookbinding and love seeing others' finished projects. I like the concept of the hand-torn pages--looks great!
