Saddle stitching is a bookbinding technique that involves sewing together multiple sheets of paper along the spine. This method uses a needle and thread to create a series of interlocking stitches, which securely hold the pages in place. It is commonly used for binding magazines, brochures, and other printed materials. This technique is favored for its simplicity and durability. Saddle stitching allows for a flat spine, making it easy to open and read. It is often used in conjunction with folding the sheets, which creates a neat and organized appearance for the finished product.
