When sewing on single cords, the thread is brought out of the hole at the sewing station, wrapped all the way round the cord starting on the further side and then pushed back in through the same hole from the near side.

When channels are cut into the book-block in order to house the cords, they are said to be sawn in. The thread is not wrapped around the cords but just pushed over the top.

Tapes

In the early part of the nineteenth century, the invention of steam-powered looms meant that good quality linen and cotton tapes could be produced at an economical cost which made them commercially viable to the bookbinding industry. Most modern books of a reasonable quality are sewn on linen or cotton tapes which lie flat against the spine and allow books to be bound so that the covering material opens out from the book-block along the spine when the book is opened, whether or not a hollow is used. This means that a far wider variety of paper can be used successfully for binding books.
