BOOKLET ASSEMBLY
Print out your PDF pattern. For best results, print the cover on high quality professional matte photo 8 x 11" paper using a borderless setting. Layer the pages: Place cover face down on a flat surface. Next, place page with Steps 1, 6 & 7 face up. Lastly, place page with steps 2 through 5 face down on top. Fold all pages in half towards you, and tie pages together with a couple stitches at the fold. Now when you open the booklet, you should have steps 1-3 on one spread, and steps 4 -7 one the other. Use the blank centre spread for notes!
