Commercial Printing: 5 Reasons Why Singer Sewn Books are Regaining Popularity in Book Binding
Singer-sewn books, also known as singer-stitched books or singer-sewn bindings, are a type of bookbinding technique that holds together the pages of a book using a specific sewing pattern. The name "singer-sewn" comes from the use of Singer sewing machines, which were originally designed for fabric but were adapted for sewing book pages together. In recent years, this binding method has seen a resurgence in popularity as more consumers prefer craftsman-quality items that are stitched to perfection.
