Next, we want to fold in the edges like this. With a hot iron press to mark where we're folding. That's our 4 inches. We'll press to mark. Then pushing the spine down because we want the full size of the book cover, we'll fold it over and close the book. We want this book cover to be fairly snug. When it's a good fit, you want to just open the book like this and press again to mark where you want to fold that. You'll press that. Now, that is going to fit the book perfectly. Remove your book and set it aside. Okay, now you have your markings and we want to press where you marked it. Press the whole cover so that you don't have any other markings. Then you should fold the book cover in half and press that center seam. Next, I'll show you how to mark it for sewing.
