"Sew Through the Fold"
This "leaf attachment" method primarily refers to sewing periodical bindings. This method generally employs a large sewing machine (though it can be done by hand) that sews the issues of a periodical together through the fold of each issue. This method only works when the individual periodical issues are "saddle-sewn" like many popular magazines are such as Time, Newsweek, or People. This is a very good leaf attachment method when binding materials that can accommodate it. The advantages are that the bound volume opens flat, is held together by strong string rather than glue, and no inner margin is lost.
