Muitos têm dificuldades em emendar linha e daí preferem usar uma linha imeeeeensa, sem prestar atenção a que isso irá causar problemas mais à frente: a linha embola, dá nós, o trabalho fica mais demorado. Eu, nos meus trabalhos, uso no máximo o comprimento de 5 cadernos e vou emendando à medida que é preciso.
Disponibilizaram este tutorial PAP para emendas e achei muito útil NO final dele, para quem não quer usar as fotos, há um vídeo com o mesmo nó.
Aproveitem!

Deixo o texto no original, para ficar bastante claro que o texto não é meu, mas as fotos são mais do que suficientes para o trabalho!

Attaching a new thread to a short one during book quires sewing (weaver's knot)






&nbsp; &nbsp;I understand that this topic maybe not&nbsp;a knowledge target&nbsp;for binders and conservators professionals who normally knows by heart&nbsp;how to do attaching a new thread to the short one during sewing process&nbsp;and we do it thousands of times on our daily binding&nbsp;and sewing work.

So! what features this knot&nbsp;do you thing it should carry ?Features!! what a strange word for such a very basic and regular process for book binder and book conservators as well, but think carefully now!mmmm yes! it should be:
Strong,&nbsp;which means that when&nbsp;we&nbsp;continue sewing and pull the new threat it should be strongly attached and knot to the small (old) one.
Even if you will attach the new thread from inside the quires or outside it (from the spine depend on your technique) you still&nbsp;DO NOT want to have a&nbsp;large solid&nbsp;knotwhich will cause a large hole when you trying to take it throw to the inside of the sections (in case of you prefer this technique). and also if it is large knot it will make bad appearance to your final sewing quality and maybe the quires themselves.
What if you have only a&nbsp;very short end&nbsp;thread? in case of accidentally cut of the threads as example, and you are not then happy to reverse the sewing for the last&nbsp;quire to get a longer thread end to make you easily able to knot it with the new one.



Book Sewing


So now you understand that your new thread should be attached to the short one with 3 basic features


strong knot.
small knot.
easily attached to a short end.



performing a weaver's knot will give you all those features and here is step by step picture tutorial teaching you how to do this knot.



note: I am using here 2 thread colors to make it easy for this tutorial to&nbsp;distinguishes the process


Short thread (A) White &amp; new thread (B) blue


I will point to the short thread (the thread that is in your quire) with the&nbsp;White(A)&nbsp;thread and the new one (which you wont to knot with the short one) with the Blue(B) thread in the tutorial pictures.



step 1:

Loop the new thread (B)











The longer end of the thread (B) is brought up throw the loop




Pull up the long end from the middle of the loop then bull together the longer and the shorter ends of thread (B) until it make a sort of hanging knot.







Step 2:

Place over the short end (A) of the&nbsp;old thread inside the loop, the encircling loop must not be tightened.







Pull both longer and shorter ends together for the new&nbsp;

thread (B) in a opposite direction.






















Step 3:





Now the tricky part and you should be sure that you did it as I explain or as the photo shown below, otherwise your knot will fail to be strongly attached to the old one. &gt;&gt;&gt;

The new thread (B) is tightened the short end (A) throw the encircling loop which tightensbehind&nbsp;it as shown in pic(8)







pic(8)




Note: In all previous steps, only the new thread (B) ends (the shorter one and the longer) pulled.



NOW you tight the knot pulling&nbsp;both threads&nbsp;the short one (A) and the new one (B) from both longer sides to completely knot them,&nbsp;







Both short ends (A) &amp; (B) are cut quite close to the knot, if you do this knot outside the quires (from the spin direction) carefully take this knot through the inside of the section as sewing is continued.
