Step 1
Add the second signature and draw the needle directly into the adjacent hole in the second signature to link.
-
Step 2Continue with a running stitch that wraps once around the previous signature’s long stitch.
-
Step 3
Begin with a running stitch along the spine of the first signature.
-
Step 4
Always tighten the thread before linking the next signature with a true kettle stitch.
-
Step 5In the following signatures, continue to wrap around the closest leg of the previous signature’s thread. The French pattern will begin to emerge as you add signatures to the sewn spine.
