I'm sure I'm not the only one who's read the tip to have quilting books spiral bound at an office place like Kinko's. I never really felt the need until I found myself fighting with some of the books I bought when I started the doll size Crazy Quilt ( who knew that 1 doll size quilt would require the purchase of 6 or 7 books?) But then I don't really need much of an excuse to buy books.
After struggling the other night to hold this book open on my lap while I was stitching I decided this would be a good one to take and have it spiral bound. No more fight to keep it open to the right page! They charged me just under $5.
To see the detail on this page, click the photo to enlarge. I love this book because she has lots of pages like this that after she shows you how to make a certain stitch she provides lots of examples.

Great idea!!! I have several that I should do that to.
How's Chesty doing?
Hi Mary, I like your idea.
Here is my solution. I have taken several books in and had the bindings cut off($1.50). I then put the pages in clear sheet protectors ($10.00 for a box of 200 at Staples) and into a binder.
It serves the same purpose in keeping the book open to the page you want. I can also take just one page out and take it with me if I chose.
Take care, Cory
