Bookbinding Tutorial | How to Make a Four Needle Coptic Journal | Multi-Needle Coptic Binding Autumn

Grow your multi-needle Coptic binding skills with this easy-to-follow four needle coptic binding tutorial with an autumn vibe.
Multi-needle coptic bindings are typically sewn in pairs (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.). This little journal was created using 4 needles and two colors of thread, which I alternated along the spine.

Holds: 36 sheets of paper (or more, if desired)
Features: lays flat
Perfect for: media journals, stocking stuffers, gifts

Very well done, thank you! Before I tried my first 4-needle Coptic, I was very intimidated by all those needles. But once I got going, it all made sense and wasn't at all complicated to keep track of everything. I would tell first timers to take it step by step and take your time. I haven't made one of these in a long time, so thank you for this refresher, it's just what I needed.

Thank you! I love your advice and would second it for any first timers. Don't let the number of needles intimidate you (use a block of styrofoam if you'd like to anchor the needles so they don't get crossed). Once you get started, the "ah-hah!" moments roll in like a summer storm

Perfect! Thank you!

[@simona.gloria]

how many sheets for a signature?

[@FigFamilyOf5]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a few questions. What adhesive paste do you use? And where do you get “end papers”? Are they different than scrapbook paper?

[@FigFamilyOf5]

And same question about the cover sheets. What kind of paper are they? Thanks!

[@papercraftpanda5077]

Hi Fig, I'm so happy you liked the little tutorial :) Great question. I use standard PVA (it's a lot like Elmer's Glue, if you want to try that first). For the end papers, you can use any paper you'd like. This includes scrapbook paper. I'm actually using scrapbook paper by Stampin Up for both the cover paper and end papers in this tutorial :) I hope that helps!
