​In 5 easy steps:

1, The new thread is looped, A being the short end. The longer end B is brought up through the loop.
​ 
2, And placed over the short end of the original thread D.

3, The encircling loop C must not be tightened. The new thread is tightened at B. 

4, drawing the short end D  through the encircling loop which tightens behind it.

​5, Both short ends are cut quite close to the knot, which is carefully taken through to the inside of the section as sewing is continued.  

​Illustrations’ & text are taken from Eric Burdett’s book ‘The Craft of Bookbinding’  ​
