In binding, a small flap of parchment or paper that holds a singleton into the gathering. When a single leaf is bound into a gathering, a small part of the leaf must extend through the gutter to allow the leaf to be sewn together with the rest of the gathering. The resulting visible strip of parchment or paper is called a Stub.
