Pamphlet Stitch

Three-hole pamphlet stitch

Five-hole pamphlet stitch

Sewing Pattern

For the three-hole, go from outside into the signature at the center, then
exit at one end, go all the way to the other end, and out at the center.
Knot ends around thread running along spine.

The five-hole differs in that the thread exits the signature at one of the
inside holes, goes to the end hole along the inside, back into the signature,
out again at the inside hole, then past the center hole to the next inside
hole, into the signature, out at the end, back in at the inside hole, out
at the center, and tie knot.

Depending on the size of the item, this type of sewing can be extended,
but number of holes must be uneven.
