TkHooper,
Mine is probably more down and dirty than what you're working on, but in case it might help:
This is what I did. I stabilized each piece of fabric that was going to be a page, leaving about 3/4" to the left and right of the page for binding. I left space on each side since I'm not good at planning ahead and that way, whichever side the page ended up on would have enough room for binding. Then I stitched out the stitches, in my case I started at the top with a stitch at the default setting, stitched partway down, then changed the width and stitched some more, then changed the length and stitched some more. I did all the stitches on my machine. Each stitch had its own vertical column. When that was done I used wonder under to "glue" two pages together and then zigzagged around a piece of rattail I laid along the edges to stabilize and further secure them. That left me with pages that had a back and front.
Then I used the eyelet function on my machine along one side and made 3 eyelets spaced for binding. I punched out the fabric on the inside of the eyelets and did a Japanese stab binding with a thin leather cord.
