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!

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!

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.
