I know Hollanders sells 20mm. You can always make your own linen tape out of bookcloth though. That way you can make it any width you'd prefer. You can view this post for some examples of tapes I've done with book cloth: http://badgerandchirp.blogspot.com/2011/02/add-style-to-your-tape-bound-books.html<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613123479509882576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882553094516469314.post-4966702265473537802012-11-06T14:10:47.592-07:002012-11-06T14:10:47.592-07:00Thanks Angela!

The frame makes it easier to work with the pages, and cord, and thread in a way that helps keep the binding tight, and the line of the cords straight. Without a frame, the cords or tape can bunch up between signatures as you sew, if that makes sense. A frame isn't an absolute necessity, and with smaller books might take more set up time than it's worth, but it can make sewing better, straighter, faster.Karleigh Jaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09613123479509882576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882553094516469314.post-32461621808383641652012-07-21T02:43:29.364-06:002012-07-21T02:43:29.364-06:00When you're binding with cords or the linen ta...When you're binding with cords or the linen tapes (or anything else), what is the purpose of stretching them over the sewing frame? Is it so that when they are let off of the frame, they will shrink back down to their original size? I imagine that after they're glued down, this would make for a tighter spine? I appreciate your answer. I've been curious about this, and no searching seems to be able to find me the answer. I know it's a universal step, but I can't find out why!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-882553094516469314.post-82768706110769899402012-06-16T02:36:42.517-06:002012-06-16T02:36:42.517-06:00Great info, thanks for sharing!Great info, thanks for sharing!Baghyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10854596253080069423noreply@blogger.com
