I do this with the books that I use the most. I even had my Brother sewing machine manual done like this and it is so much easier to use.
I like knowing that the books will be good and easy to use for a long time. I use Office Depot and usually pay under $5. You will soon have more of your books done this way. |
I've also done this to many of my books...and I go to Office Depot as well.

I didn't know you could do this. Thanks for sharing.

I recently purchased a paper piecing book and it was difficult to copy the pages as it is a large book. So, I carefully took apart the book, 3 hole punched the pages, and put it in a 3 ring binder. I took the cover of the book and slid it into the outside front cover which has the clear insert. Now I can easily copy the pages and they are not disstorted.

Thank you SO much. Never knew this option existed!!!

I've taken several of my quilt books to Office Depot for binding. This allows the book to lay flat, much easier to
follow the piecing directions than a book that keeps wanting to close. |
I always take all my books and have them spiral bound I use a lot. It is much easier to have the pages open and able to flip pages instead of trying to keep a book open. I was taught this in my first quilting class and have been doing it ever since. At first when you see the spline cut its hard, but it works great and you never loose a thing

I love my spiral bound books, but I would love to come up with something that makes it easier to find a book on the shelf. So many spirals, no names anymore! :D

I do that for many of my quilt books so that they lay flat and I can copy a page to mark. Only pay about $2.50 at a neighborhood copy store for about 200 pages, which includes front and back plastic covers. $10 is high.

Then the light bulb went off. I took it to my local "Staples" office supply store and asked if they could rebind it. They could!! They could rebind it with a spiral binding and it cost less than $10. I should have done it ages ago. Now it stays open when I'm using it! Next time I get a new book that isn't already spiral bound, I may just take it in and have it done right away. |
