Have you ever spec'd it for a print job?
I am looking to see what type of styles there are out there.Any insights would be great
Thanks

FYI: For those that have no idea what Singer Sewn is. It is a print finish where pages in a brochure are physically stitched together... yes with thread. This is DIFFERENT to being saddle stitched.

Have spec'd it once, but can't really remember if it was expensive or cheap..
I guess you can change the size of the stiches, the color of the thread, maybe you could have the stitches not go all the way from bottom to top, but rather a bit at both ends or just a bit in the middle..

I am looking at one type through the doc but just options on whether you can cross stitch, normal stitch or something else....?

Not going to be much help here but generally binedery that involves physically stitching by hand and your expenses go up astronomically.

Dancer,
It really depends on your bindery if they will do fancy stitching or not. Typically that is hand labor that requires a large amount of time.

I have only seen straight line stichting used in binding, no zig-zagging as that will probably cause the paper to crease.
But like said before, it's probably best to talk to a bindery.

I have seen cross stitch and straight line.
I am speaking to a few people.... at the moment but thought someone may have some useful info.
and yes agentfour is right, it's literally someone pushing the printed piece through a sewing machine. Price per unit so cost does not decrease as you increase quantity
