Double Needle Coptic Stitch Bookbinding Tutorial | Sea Lemon

[@annab3592]

This video showed up just when I needed it. In a problematic situation I had completely forgotten about coptic stitch binding. I had found some really nice paper that I wanted to use, but it was warping too much, even with the least amount of glue possible. I didn't know what to do. I was just about to spend a couple weeks' food's worth of money to buy a discbinding set on Amazon. Thank you for preventing me from commiting such a blasphemy. Now I can use what I already own. Brace yourself, colored thread stash, I am coming for you!

[@mar1amemad22]

Finally I was trying to learn it But was very difficult from anyone except you

[@HaniaSzymczak]

I just finished a book with kettle stitch binding (cause it's the only one I've learnt, lol), but your videos inspire me to try and make more and more notebooks :) It's so nice to watch it and listen to your calming voice. Good job ;)

[@VeganDoris]

Thank you for using 2 different thread colors - it makes it much easier to understand how the binding is done!

[@berry2582]

Finally a bookbinding video...woah. Missed u girl. I purple you💜💜💜

[@HobosEatOreos]

Thank you for this 🙌🏻 Finally a video that I can follow. So many people are terrible at explaining what they're doing and don't go slow enough for you to see exactly what they're doing.

[@denisseulpo8640]

I've been following your bookbinding tutorials since high school and i'm currently a college student, i still go to sea lemon whenever i forgot how to do Coptic stitch 😄 i want to try this one tho

[@mikifubuki]

Gonna try this! Been learning a lot from your tutorials this quarantine and they help me learn something I always wanted to make for myself.

[@FiMilton]

The way you matched your thread colors to the wrapping paper 🥰

[@arianasilver789]

Absolutely love all your binding videos! I'm starting a lot of book binding projects this year, including making and binding my own art book, and I couldn't do it without your videos and tutorials. Thank you for being amazing and helping all of us creatives! :)

[@JoDidntHearYou]

How awesome that you’re making your own art book! That’s awesome!

Your videos show each step very clearly and I enjoy listening to you describe it as you do it. I made my first coptic bound book last week, and have since made 2 coptic bound books with the two color threads, which I love. Thank you so much.

Your books are so beautiful! Please make a tutorial about creating seamless patterns from drawings, I want to try making custom wrapping paper 🥰 Thank you!!

[@carlafinklea740]

Thanks for posting this tutorial. It’s easy to follow and makes this binding method feel a lot less intimidating.

Your videos are perfect. I LOVE the the fact that you take the time to make the timestamps.. so helpful. Thank you

I JUST made a coptic sketchbook after years for a friend's birthday so this timing feels like a sign to keep going 🤪 love the tutorial!

I like this stitch! Thanks for demonstrating how to do it. I love that paper you used to cover the books! So pretty!! I just ordered some, and since I so very much look forward to your videos, I joined Patreon to support your work! 😄

Dear Sea Lemon, thank you very much for your efforts ! All your tutorials are a paragon of clarity and very easy to understand. i like your style very much and your demonstration are esxcellent. Cheers.

[@raria11]

Could you show how to girdle bind a book? Maybe a form of it… I would love a cover that keeps the notebook safe and that can also be used for carrying the notebook. Thank you for your wonderful videos! All I've learned about book binding, I've learned from you.

[@janasher4940]

This is a great tutorial. Wonderful video.

[@GenWivern2]

Hi Jennifer, and thank you. I had occasion to look up one of your earliest Coptic stitch videos the other day - my goodness, the video quality and editing have come a long way! Mind you, I do miss the jaunty reggae-ish background music. Anyway, I've been enjoying your channel for years now, and don't say thank you nearly often enough - so there you go. :-)

[@SeaLemonDIY]

😄 thanks!

[@KrissiCreates]

Oh I love this !! I love doing regular Coptic but haven't tried this !! It's the weekend... guess what I'll be doing?! Lol !! Thank you for a great tutorial!

Thanks, sea lemon. Great tutorial.

[@nancywalter7555]

Hi, I would love a video where you show all binding options, where the books lay flat. Obviously, Coptic stitch works, but love to see several options, as I want my books to lay flat but might not want Coptic stitch... thanks.

[@DawnMontgomeryAuthor]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I'm inspired to make a book for each month of the year (especially Inktober!). I am so excited by this!

[@SeaLemonDIY]

yes! I was planning to make a DIY inktober book video next month to prepare for October! I've never participated and this year I want to (in my own sketchbook of course) 👍

[@DawnMontgomeryAuthor]

@@SeaLemonDIY That's so exciting!!! I'm glad we're on the same page with the Inktober book! I can't wait to see your video. I'm thinking about making signatures of different color and texture paper. Black paper so I can use white and metallic inks, kraft paper color for tone practice, watercolor paper for ink washes, etc. I'm also making the book about the size of your smallest book here, so I won't have an excuse to avoid doing it. I'm really looking forward to October! I'll set it up for 32 sheets so I can have a cover page. :D Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I'm so inspired to make my book AND, thanks to your previous videos on making your own design paper, I'm going to make my cover paper ahead of time using black cardstock and white ink. See you in the next video!

Wonderful! 😍 Soo excited to get binding!

[@addicted2popcorn]

Going from left to tight as we look at the folded edge of the signatures, let's call the needles/strands #1, #2, #3, #4. What would happen if at the end signature you took #2 and #3 (the two center needles) and looped them around end of the loops the opposite half. Meaning #2 would wrap around the hole and loops at #3. Then we would wrap #3 around the hole and loops at #2. That way #1 and #4 would still stay on their half of the book making three strands between #1 and #2 and three strands between #4 and #3. Leaving the two just made strands between #2 and #3. That way half of the ending double strands would be moved to the up-to-now none threaded center.

[@Appollochan]

Can you use Coptic stitch binding for single sheets? I don't want to fold my pages in half but I still like this stitch

[@mooistliefste]

I just made a regular coptic stitch book with only 2 holes and that didnt go so well. Eager to retry it with this method though!

[@thetranscendentstoryreller4641]

So cute!

[@panktiporecha7969]

What is the biggest advantage of this binding method or a reason for one to use this instead of regular coptic stitch? Apart from the choice of using different coloured threads.

[@pabola2708]

Hi! This tutorial was amazing, thanks! I have a question: how can I protect the corners on the cover when it's covered with paper?

[@ChiB2004]

You could cover in tape? Either clear or washi to your choice. Also I found some metal covers from my local craft shop which slide on and then you pinch them tight. Hope this helps :)

[@wanderingsoul881]

Tbh I usually just cover the entire thing with a plastic wrap that you usually use for books or notebooks

Super cute! Does the additional thread create extra bulk inside the signatures? You are so great!

[@angelaknisely-marpole2203]

Excellent video - but that's not a square or reef knot! A square knot has both the threads on one side coming over the turn, and the treads on the other side going under the turn. What you have done is a granny knot :)

Hello! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am planning on to make my own notebook diary for the whole year so I have enough pages.. I need a 110 sheet notebook(220 pages) , about the size of cahier... Which method would you recommend please to make that? And how many papers in one signature..? Thank you very much!!

[@MariaCalore]

I have a 6 holes coptic waiting for me... Should have been 4 but got distracted, really undecided if I had to do a textblock or not. 6 needles are gonna end me 😬 What do you think about applying eyelets on the holes of the cover? I have very bulky holes, i used the guide and needle instead of holepunching it... Eyelets would make it prettier and ruin the pages less

[@jarja4284]

I was struggling to make new book and she posted new video...lucky me! I love your videos jennifer!! (Did i spell that right?)

[@okamiseele8614]

Can you use this stick with a more traditional cover made of fabric or leather? Specifically, a cover that goes over the spine. Does it still open flat?
