How to Stitch a Text Block for Case Book Binding

UPDATE: Since uploading this video, I ve learned more about bookbinding and realize this is NOT a kettle stitch. I m self-taught and came up with this method years ago to make text blocks for case binding. It s actually a combination of stitches, but at the time, I didn t know what to call it. Apologies for the incorrect naming! A traditional kettle stitch is typically used to link signatures together on the outside ends to form a text block for case binding.
