Station Fence

Pierce sewing stations for bookbinding

Lay the strip in the fold of an open signature with the back lip hooked over the head of the pages, then push an awl through the seven guide holes. Every signature in the book gets its sewing stations in exactly the same place, so the spine comes out straight. Stations are 40 mm apart.
