Mylyn McColl: Exposed butterfly stitch binding

Sponsored by our national O&E Group

In this two-day workshop Mylyn will demonstrate a contemporary twist to the classic butterfly stitch. You will learn how to create your own cloth tapes to lace into the boards. We will then cover the boards in paper or cloth before Mylyn guides you through the decorative stitch itself, and shares different ways to finish the inside of the boards.
