How to Get the Starter Guide Bound for Under $7
Share
The starter guide prints fine on a home printer. Loose pages in a folder, functional. But if it's going in a project bag instead of a drawer, it holds up better as an actual booklet: stapled, pocket-sized, nothing sliding out at the bottom of a bag full of thread.
What you're printing
The guide is formatted as an 8-page booklet at 5 x 7 inches, cover included. That size was chosen on purpose: small enough to live in a project bag without folding, big enough to read without a magnifier.
How to order it
Download the booklet file
PDF · 8 pages · Formatted for a 5 x 7 saddle-stitch booklet
At Vistaprint, look for Saddle-Stitch Booklets under Marketing Materials. Set size to 5" x 7", orientation to Portrait, and page count to 8p (cover + 4 inside), which matches the file exactly. Binding placement is Left Side. Upload the PDF, choose a paper (Standard Matte is a sensible default for both inside and cover), and order 1.
What it actually costs
One booklet, standard matte paper: $6.89. Budget paper: closer to $6. Shipping runs separately, roughly $5 for economy delivery.
