3 and 5 hole Pamphlet Stitch Tutorial: How to bind a Journal

[@EleonoraGerika]

who give tumbs down to this video? Some people are so negative, she is doing her best making videos and sharing with us. I don't think she deserves those tumbs down. Anyway this is only a few people, more people like and adore your videos. Thank you for sharing and I am happy to find journal maker here in UK.

I am learning so much about this fantastic craftwork! I am finding so many expressive & creative ways to make these journals! All these years of hanging on to old magazines, newsletters etc is paying off! You’ve helped free up a new creative part of myself! I was a Girl Scout leader & always had crafts the girls would value & use. Now I’m retired & using all my huge stash of scraps for making journals! Loving this!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thanks hun x

[@nanarockie1]

Tracie, just letting you know that even your past videos are so helpful to me on my junk journal journey. Thank you so much for what you do both with the digitals and the videos. I've learned so much and love supporting you!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh thank you!

[@joycebergthold1465]

I watched your video in Jan. 2020, and I needed a refresh of the steps again today May 10, 2020. This is the best video I've seen for a 5-hole-pamphlet stitch on a junk journal. Really!!! Thank you again for making this video.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad it helped! Thank you huni x

[@teristewart5473]

I LOVE the long videos! Wonderful for a newbie. Thank you!

[@dorothykovak4900]

Great demonstration of a confusing process. I think I can do this now. Thanks for sharing

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you and good luck xxx

[@aliciaambriz6450]

Thank you so much for this video. I have to reference back to this video so many times when I'm making my inserts. 🙏thank you

[@francescoffland9759]

I am so glad that you are doing this. I am new to journal making and need something step by step that is clear and easy to follow. Thanks.

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

Very helpful tutorial very clear instructions.

[@gayneels5169]

Super to see the 5 hole stitch, thanks!

[@Sheilasembroidery]

Just the way I have made little books in the past but it is great to have a refresher. I certainly wasn’t shown how to push down the knot, that is a great tip

[@gilledmonds4201]

Thanks again Tracie, it's very easy to understand and works perfectly. I have tried others and this beats them all.

[@EJNilsson]

PERFECT tutorial - EXACTLY what I was needing!

[@NigezzaCreates]

Thank you. I am about to do & needed a clear tutorial 😊

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@junkerryjournals7924]

Always a good “go back to “ video 🤗 couldn’t for the life of me get the 5 stitches done!🙄 you saved me once again dear friend 😘😉

[@TracieFoxCreative]

I'm so glad!

[@RiverCitiCreative]

Very straightforward instructions and easy to follow. Thanks

[@jacquidary2507]

Great tutorial ! I don’t make my own signatures very often so needed a refresher. Yours was clear, easy, & quick. Thanks

[@gilledmonds4201]

Thank you Tracie. Will try this on my next journal.

[@Sheilasembroidery]

Thank you Tracie, this is how I have made small books in the past. It is always good to have a refresher. Your trick of pushing down the knot seems like a good idea, I must remember in future.

[@sdwvinyldesign1291]

Tracie ty so much for this video. I'm made my first journal and need to sew in signatures.

[@helenmallon265]

Tracie this has been so good for me. I have learnt so much. Thank you!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

I'm so glad! xx

[@maryg.249]

I love your tutorials! You are easy to follow and fun to listen to! Thanks for being real and not editing out your mistakes! We need to see those too, otherwise we newbies might give up if we only saw “perfection “! Hope you get your roof sorted out soon. Just got ours done and where we live we get big storms almost weekly! Blessings, Mary

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Ah no, glad yours is sorted. We had another storm this morning :-( xx

[@SusanRoseArt]

Excellent! Many thanks. Very clear to follow. :)

[@sarojm893]

Thank you very much for this. Your explanation is so clear and very helpful as I am new to making journals. Will definitely try this. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@annalba]

Look great, I always seem to go off the center in one hole, I will try the fold over method. We had a huge storm on Friday too, sorry to hear about your roof leaking.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thanks Ann, Folding will help xx

[@jeanwest-ackroyd3908]

[@MissDaisyParsley]

So helpful! Thanks!!!!!!

[@LadyLeda2]

Thank you for showing how to do a 5 hole Tracie. Been using the 3 hole, Seems like the 5 hole would be stronger.

[@MFF901]

Thanks so much for the great demonstration ,it was very well and easy to follow ❤Tfs❤ God bless🙏Margaret from Florida🌴🌴👍

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Great explaining.

[@craftydawk.janettedawkins7516]

Another great video. TFS ❤️💕❤️

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

Thanks for this, Tracie. It was very clear and super helpful. BTW, I don’t think anyone would mind if you popped your head in your videos for a few seconds once in a while as needed to line stuff up. 😊

[@TracieFoxCreative]

LOL, I do until I get my roots done LOL LOL Thank you Jeanne for watching, glad it was helpful :-D xx

[@pennybergmen8933]

I love this so much, I have watched it over and over...(that's how I learn) and I wish I could hit the love button 100 times! Finally finishing my first journal, already started on a second and collecting wonderful things for my third! Really good to have projects......now......thank you so much!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Would love to see your journal hun xx

[@pennybergmen8933]

@@TracieFoxCreative I did learn ONE thing as I fill my pages....now that they are finally IN the book (thank you!) I need to make the spines of my journals MUCH bigger! This was a special memory album and it's so full I can't close it! She'll still love it! And, I work slowly, too! Thanks for the great video!

[@ChattylaineCreates]

Cool.... excited to watch how you do your journal making.... its putting signatures together and cutting them to size that is getting me!! So will be eager to see you do that part. 😊😊😊 And oh no about the roof.... hope it gets sorted soon sweetie!!! ❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh Elaine, its a nightmare! LOL, they are finally coming this afternoon but no clue when they can actually do any work up there :-( It my little girls room too. xx

[@ChattylaineCreates]

I'm sure it is.... nothing is easy to deal with when it comes to houses and cars apparently. I'm still trying to sort cars out....but not as bad as you dealing with water coming through the roof. We have good weather coming again so hopefully they can get it done ... quick sharp!!!

[@cheriweston7619]

Hi Tracie....this is my least favorite part of making albums. I'm all thumbs it seems when sewing in the signatures and it doesn't matter how many holes...my fingers all turn to thumbs. I liked your suggestion of bending the signatures down and piercing through that way. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks so much for the tutorial and I can't wait to see the rest.

[@joaniesjournals5329]

Can you please do a video that shows how to put the pages together? It seems very confusing to me that some of the pages are shorter(width wise).....how do you catch them all up in the stitches? Thank you...❤️❤️❤️

[@TracieFoxCreative]

As long as your papers catch at leat one stitch you are good to go. I will get to the papers. xx

[@joaniesjournals5329]

Tracie Fox LoveJunk Journals I look forward to it.... I have just finished an altered book journal with an Autumn Theme...I used ArtyMaze’s Sunflower digital kit...now I am beginning an Altered(?) Golden Book journal... I have to stitch in pages now... I completed the Paper Doll journal but I have not sewn it together yet because it is HUGE...

[@terry3337]

Thank you!!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

You're welcome!

[@joaniesjournals5329]

I love your pencil! 😋😋😋

[@64053nickki]

Traci if you want lace do you sew it on before you attach in journal?

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Sometimes...sometimes I glue once the pages are in if I think it needs it :-D xx

[@junebamburg1704]

Thank you!💜💜

[@plrs4cats]

Hi, Tracie. I've just begun watching your videos and I'm a bit stumped. You mention mixed hollow binding but say you can't show us. Yet, when I Google it, I find no info whatsoever. Is there a course? Could you add a link or something, please. I see what hollow binding is, but only in relation to recovering on old book. Thank you.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Oh hun, there are lots of versions of this, just search you tube for hidden spine! You will get lots for free x

[@jacquiposener7262]

Thank you so much Tracie for sharing so generously. I’m a new subbie and new to making journals. Can you tell me how many pages in a signature or is it personal preference? Also is that a special needle? Thanks!

[@mprairiedale]

Extreme newbie here, when would I use a 3 hole vs a 5???? I hope that's not a goofy question!!!😳

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Hey hun, start with the 3 hole. Its the easiest stitch. Move on to a 5 hole when you feel ready. I use 3 hole for TN's and 5 holes for other things. The 3 hole is perfectly strong enough it is mainly aesthetic :-D xxx

[@MicheleScott]

dude! great! THANK YOU!!!!!! XOOXOX DUDE

[@rneustel388]

Where I’m from we call that kind of rain a “frog strangler!” 😂😂

[@40agutierrez]

It's kinda hard to see when u have white paper and white thread. 😕

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Sorry x

[@40agutierrez]

Your videos are the 1st videos I came across when I started my junk journal journey. Do u amazing work and i just love your accent.

[@annamariahunt4286]

Would have been a better demo if cobpver were a contrasting to threas

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Sorry

[@Gothlite-i1l]

I'm sure it was a great tut but white on white on white was just too hard for me to see.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Sorry xx

[@jayneterry8701]

For the number of times I've seen journals do this I got stuck on what to do half way thru 😂. It was a bit hard to see white thread on a white page but other than that it came out fine. 👍🩷🇨🇦

[@lionteen1]

Thank you so much
