Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1477322A1] A method for making books from a stack of mutually sewn signatures (10), with sewing thread being interrupted at each group (12) of signatures making up a book, comprises the step of opening the signatures (10) and feeding them sequentially to a moving saddle (22) of a sewing machine (14), said moving saddle (22) being adapted to travel between a signature-receiving position and a signature-sewing position; sew the sequences of signatures (10) of a group (12) making up the book. Furthermore, it provides the step of anchoring the sewing thread after a last signature (10a) of the group by carrying out an empty stitch during the steps of opening of the moving saddle (22) from the sewing position to the receving position of the signatures (10). <IMAGE>
