French Link Binding on Accordion Pleats with Paula Krieg (Online)

Schedule: Mar 29, 2021 -- 11:00am - 1:00pm (ET); 
8:00am - 10:00am (PT); 9:00AM - 11:00am (MT); 10:00am -12:00pm (CT); 

The French Link is a simple, decorative stitch that is usually done on tapes. Instead of tapes, participants will sew sections on to a short and long ebony black accordion-folded strip, using bright linen thread to make at least one small multi signature book. Students will receive cover and paper supplies to make at least two books, ample thread, and two needles. There will be discussions on threads, needles, papers, handy tools and resources. This should be a relaxed couple hours of folding and sewing.
