Loved it
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I loved it.
Interesting format and I liked the tutorial. But I am wondering how you determined the amount of slack in your ribbon on the spine edge. I know you just eyeballed it since you initially glued more of the ribbon and then changed the placement. Is there a rule of thumb you use?
