Binding Machines Buying Guide

Question by Kristen: How do I replace a book binding?
I need to recover a book that is old enough to not have an ISBN number, so I can’t get the precise dimensions online. Nonetheless, I have a rough estimate.
Does anyone know how to replace or recover a book binding? I never got around to learning how when I worked in the library. Oh- and I’d prefer to do it using everyday household materials- I can’t be scraping lambskin and sewing bindings together using a 1200 year-old technique. Just presume I have no more than tape, scissors, paper, an inkjet printer and a small personal lamination machine.

Question by bagosav: Is there a faster way to sew the binding on the back of a quilt?
I making this quilt for a friend of mine, and this is my first quilt I will have ever made. My aunt was helping me make the quilt as she made hers, and then she had to leave so I am on my own now. I am down to the very last thing sewing the binding on. I have sewed the binding on the front side already, and now I am folding it over to sew it on the back. I was just wondering if there is an easier way to the sew the binding to the back instead of hand stitching it all the way around. I saw this lady on tv making quilts and she says she never hand stitches the back she using her sewing machine. Is there someone that can explain this method to me, and is there any others methods out there besides this one. I can always just sew it by hand I just thought I would see if there were any other methids out there that would make it go by a little faster. Thanks in advance for any help.

Question by Brian D: binding and exporting a database with my application in Visual Basic Express so that I can read write?
What I am trying to do is be able to move things around (picture files), on a Form that I made in VB and furthermore associate file strings to them. I will have an opendialogbox with them as the user has to click on them and selects a file that is then assigned to the picture file. Also the user is able to dynamically create and drag the pictures around the form and leave it wherever they want to. The problem I am having, and thinking that I might need a database because after the file is closed, it is opened again, I want to have the points (locations on the form), for the specific pictures as well as the file associated with them loaded up so that everything looks as it did before they closed it. Now I am wondering if I need a whole elaborate database for that. In the end this application has to be able to be transported to their machine and executed. Thus this means that the database has to go with it. Any ideas? Sample code? Will an XML file work better?
This is the general idea for the input into the MSSQL. Let me know if this is all needed…

Public Sub Save(ByVal bwavfile() As Byte)

Dim DBInsertCmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim sSQL As String
Dim strConn As String

strConn = “”
DBInsertCmd = New SqlClient.SqlCommand
DBInsertCmd.Connection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(strConn)

Dim strBase64WavFile As String = Convert.ToBase64String(bwavfile)

sSQL = “INSERT INTO wavfiles(filename, soundfile) values (@filename, ” &_
“@bwavfile)”
DBInsertCmd.CommandText = sSQL
With DBInsertCmd.Parameters
.Clear()
.Add(”@filename”, Me.TextBox2.Text)
.Add(”@bwavfile”, strBase64WavFile)
End With

DBInsertCmd.Connection.Open()
Try
DBInsertCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
MessageBox.Show(”Wav File Saved”)
Catch oExcept As Exception
MessageBox.Show(oExcept.Message)
End Try

DBInsertCmd.Connection.Close()
DBInsertCmd = Nothing
End Sub
I am trying to understand the pieces more precicely and know more of what I really need and do not or even if I need this whole scheme. Perhaps if you have a simple working example about the saving of dynamic data creation to file, I would be very happy to see it.

Thanks much,

Brian

You’re not getting any good responses because no serious programmers use VB. Perhaps you should find a Microsoft forum.

Question by Alice C: Is wire binding hard? Help!!?
I’m a high schooler and these two books my chemistry teacher gave everyone in the beginning of the year are really messed up now. I have to give it back to her soon since school is almost over. She’s the strictest and scariest teacher I have ever had and she got really mad when I asked her if I just had to pay her for each book if they get lost.
Now my books are much worse. Some pages ripped on the edge, wires completely broken.
I’m really scared to tell her because she already seems to hate me for some reason. I’m also having her again next year for Chemistry AP (so dead…)
Is wire binding hard or something? I don’t think she has one of those advanced wire binding machines. I AM SO SCARED. Please help!

Your teacher must realize that books don’t last forever, so don’t worry about it.

If she says anything, try to turn it into a positive by saying something like “I spent a lot of time reading those books and it shows!”, then smile and tell her that you look forward to chemistry next year.

Good luck!
