Bookboard
• Your local art supply store or blick.com
• In class we used Double Thick Bainbridge Utility Backing Board from clearbags.com
• I have also ordered 1/8” chipboard from amazon.com
Waxed Linen Thread
I order from whitecloverkiln.etsy.com
She offers 5 and 10 color assortments with 5 yard bobbins. (5 yards is about enough for 3 books)
Interior Paper
In class we used Blick Sulfite Drawing Paper 18×24 inches 80lb
Methyl Cellulose
I always buy food grade methyl cellulose powder from amazon.com
(It’s less expensive than getting it from the art supply store.)
Razor Blade Cutter
This is the one I have with the folding handle
Embroidery Thread
Eleganza by Wonderfil, size 8 perle cotton
Mulberry Paper to line bookcloth
