<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9564444, member: 56"]You can avoid the cross spine thing by taking the cord one hole past the middle on the return to put both ends of the cord on the same side to tie off. The bow (I suggest) will be off center. I'd suggest you start in the center front work to the top of the book, then to the bottom, then return one hole past the center. I think that will put both ends of the cord on the same side, and the tie off will be off center towards the top.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have to carefully test it to see if it's functional. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don't do any of this if it seems to be stressing the paper.
