Saddlestitch - Is It Your Niche?

When To Stitch

For certain applications saddlestitching is a reliable and cost effective answer. But there are some situations when its better to go a different route when binding.

"You can only saddlestitch realistically up to about 1⁄8˝ or 3⁄16˝, because if you go beyond that the book lays wide open," says Hagemin of ISP. "You get to 3⁄16˝ or 1⁄4˝ and saddlestitching doesn't make sense because its not going to be a very attractive book."
