UPDATE: Need help with the stitching part? I have a NEW tutorial with close-ups of the binding process! Watch here:    • How to Stitch a Text Block for Case B...  

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to sew and glue a text block for case binding your own book. I'll also include how to add a ribbon bookmark in the process. This video focuses on just the text block for case binding method itself. I'm self-taught and came up with my own variation of binding. It's a combo of saddle, link and coptic stitching. If you're familiar with coptic stitching, this should be easy for you ;)
