I had bought an extra copy of Tonya's book to use in a classroom setting, and thought having it lie flat would be useful.
So I brought it to Staples last night and they did it while I waited. The cost? $2.99.
The best ideas can often be very inexpensive. This is a keeper!

wow, I might have to get all my books done!! thanks for sharing,Amy
What a helpfun idea! I may do that to some of my books too!!
well doesn't this just make so much sense. I might just have to jump on this band wagon.
Don't you just love this idea!!
I really like having a book lie flat, especially quilt books and cookbooks. The problem is I also want to be able to read the spine title when the book is standing on my bookshelf. Which is why I really like Krause publications; they're spiral bound within a hard casing. They lie flat and you can read the spine. Perfect. Wish all the quiltbook publishers would do the same.
ooh, clever. will have to do the same.
I did the same thing with my really thick textbooks in college. One of my professors suggested it to me.
I finally got my extra copy coil-bound at Office Depot today (they offer a choice of coil colors - red, black, navy, white ... I chose RED).
$2.79 with tax ... WOW!
Happy to share the idea that someone else had shared with me!
Thanks for sharing! You and Millie have a great New Years.
I am so going to do that! I think I'll do that with my teacher books at school too. Brilliant!
Thanks!
Love this idea. I've been doing it with any book that I might want to make more than one quilt from. So nice to have it lay flat!
That is a great idea! Thanks for sharing it!
That's a great idea. I went to a Print Three at a mall by me, and they wouldn't do it. I'll have to look for somewhere else.
Did you lose any of the print in the process? I thought of this as I was putting a heavy weight on the pages while I sewed :0)....I just don't want to lose any script :0)
Happy sewing
