The cardstock was used to reinforce the front and back covers. I was able to open them, so should be able to stitch to the rest of the book. Time will tell.<\/p>\n<p><b>Repair Complete<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The stitching is a tad looser than the original binding. I originally used UHU stick glue. After reassembling and binding the book together, I added PVA to the cover.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class='centered' src=\"\/images\/TrustYourselfRepair01_IMG_2470.jpg\" alt=\"Trust Yourself Repaired\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also used PVA to affix the folded pages together. The reason I do that, is to prevent the viewer from seeing the back side of the embroidery. Because PVA is wet compared, the back of the embroidery became wet. After drying it shows a bit through to the front and the pages look a bit crumpled.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class='centered' src=\"\/images\/TrustYourselfRepair02_IMG_2468.jpg\" alt=\"Trust Yourself Repaired\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Crumpled and messy would be okay if that was the intent. It would be okay if all of the pages were consistently so. Lesson Learned<\/p>\n<p>I wonder what would happen if I applied a layer of PVA to the paper before embroidery? It would make the paper stronger. I suspect it would also be easier to affix the folded pages together because the paper would no longer be porous. Maybe two sided tape would work.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class='centered' src=\"\/images\/TrustYourselfRepair03_IMG_2469.jpg\" alt=\"Trust Yourself Repaired\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class='centered' src=\"\/images\/TrustYourselfRepair02_IMG_2459.jpg\" alt=\"Trust Repair\" \/><\/p>\n<hr class=\"hrVisible\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you start to wonder if you can trust someone or not, that is when you already know you don\u2019t.
