text_original: The knots must be made very neatly, and the ends cut off, or they will be visible in the sheet by their bulk. [Illustration: Flexible sewing.] If the book is of moderate thickness, the sections may be knocked down by occasionally tapping them with a piece |28| of wood loaded at one end with lead, or a thick folding stick may be used as a substitute. I must again call particular attention to the kettle stitch.
