ROWS 2-11: Work even on 9 sc.CENTER PAGE
With yellow, work same as for front and back cover. At this point place all three pieces together and do a few quick sts to keep through all 3 pieces to keep intact. It will be helpful to do vertical sts up and down along where spine will be sewn. Also do some small undetectable sts through all thicknesses of front, back and center page, to keep them from curling all the way open. The object is to allow just a little of the center page along a small portion of the vertical edging and one or both corners to be seen, in order to give the impression of a lot of pages exposed.SPINE
ROW 1: Ch 12, work 1 sc in 2nd ch from hk and in each ch across. (11 sc)
ROWS 2-7: Work even on 11 sc. Spine will be sewn to Bible with the rows running vertical instead of horizontal. Fold piece in half along spine portion of Bible and sew in place along front and back covers. “Holy Bible” may be applied to the front cover of the Bible with a small letter punch set, or with purchased self-stick letters. -
Step 2If desired, you can embroider a small indication of a mouth or lips with a simple horizontal straight stitch. Curve it slightly and and make a happy smile!
