Slide the thread along an edge of the candle wax, and the thread will go smoothly through the holes, without tearing up the paper. No worries, the copies of "The Middle of Somewhere" will have a more discreet thread colour, I picked green 'cause I already had it, I try to recycle material as much as possible.

We need to stitch and glue signatures and covers, while we’re still waiting for all the printed sheets sandbox to be folded, cut, bound and placed between each cover by the binder.
