The Bookbinding Starter Tool Set is a basic bookbinding kit for anyone who wants to start making handmade journals, notebooks, sketchbooks, albums and small books with stitched binding. It includes the essential tools for folding paper, marking creases, piercing holes, sewing signatures and working more neatly from the very first project.
The bone folder and crease marker help create clean folds in paper and covers. The awl is used to pierce holes before stitching, while the straight steel bookbinding needles in 3 sizes give you options depending on your project and thread thickness. The waxed polyester threads in beige, brown, dark red and light brown are suitable for bookbinding and give a clean, finished look to the spine.
