Thank you, stitching my first book with 11 signatures worked flawlessly! Really appreciated the clarity and the “down to the essentials” format.

Wonderful video!!! I decided to try book binding for the very first time today. I made signatures by folding some A4 printer paper I had on hand, secured them with a saddle stitch, then joined them together using this method. For a long time I thought I was just too impatient and easily frustrated to sew things by hand, but I sat for like three hours straight just binding this book and having a good time, so I guess all I needed was the right tutorial!

Thank you SO MUCH! I have tried various methods which resulted in gaps between my signatures and was about to give up. But thanks to you I have now found my favourite way to sew my signatures and NO GAPS!! Thank you xx

Al igual que tú deduje mi técnica de cosido de libros, ya hace algunos tiempo hice un libro artesanal y hice la misma técnica o similar, y me dió risa por qué tú técnica es impecable hacia afuera pero complicada en el centro jajajajaja y la mía es un mierdero hacia afuera y bonita en el centro, entonces me dió de nuevo risa por que haveces la vida no es como queremos, y hallar ese ideal de equilibrio es tan complicado. Buena noche.

love this video! would you recommend this stitch for a book that has 32 signatures? or is the chain stitch not strong enough to hold that many signatures? thank you!

This certainly looks a much tighter and more secure way of stitching the book block than just kettle stitches at each end.

@KathleenRenninger 8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much; a very clear explanation, both visually and verbally. Seems to be a lot simpler than Coptic, but accomplishes the same thing; the book opens flat. My only problem: I got gaps between each signature. What did I do wrong?

People, I need some advice, I have problems to work with a lot of thread, because I am doing a 15 section notebook and passing all the line by each one of the holes is very time consuming, also creating undesirable knots is very possible.Can anyone suggest any technique to work with so much thread or something to help me?

So I tried this several...many times tonight. This is first time I used waxed linen thread, but I really couldn't get my stitches to stay taught like I can with a pamphlet stitch. My loops kept disappearing so I started making them bigger lol...kudos to you and your small loops lol! Any advice on the stitching?

@ThePreservationLab Жыл бұрын

One thing you could try is sewing both the top and the bottom at the same time. You'll need two needles, but some people find this easier to get better tension.

@aanchal3502 Жыл бұрын

Insert a pencil or something thinner than that so the loops won't disappear

What do I do if I run out of thread?

@thefitz3932 2 ай бұрын

This was a great question idk why it hasn't been answered but I googled it bc I need to know for an upcoming project "If you run out of thread, simply tie a knot at the exterior of the book block. Cut a new length of thread, and tie a knot at the end, and pick up where you left off, sewing until all of the signatures are connected."

@Needassistance 2 ай бұрын

Tie it off. And thread your needle with new string and pick up where you left off in the next stations hole

You gotta have about the length of your book x the amount of signatures you are going to use, count one more signature so you have a little bit left by the end

What is Coptic stitch then? I'm confused now after seeing this. If this is Chain Link stitch which looks very similar to what I have seen referred to as Coptic Stitch for years. What is the difference exactly? Please help. Thank you

@ThePreservationLab 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your question! Within the bookbinding community coptic is generally a catch-all phrase that refers to this type of sewing and generally includes the covers being attached via the sewing. Within the conservation field we do not use this sewing type to attach the boards, we only use it for sewing the textblock of a book - so we call it a chain stitch. Within our field a "Coptic binding" refers to a historical era of bookbinding. Here are some examples from the Morgan Library: www.themorgan.org/collection/coptic-bindings

@ThePreservationLab 2 жыл бұрын

Jessica actually curved that one herself. It's a standard straight bookbinding needle - she heated up the needle on her gas stove at home, and using two pairs of pliers, bent it into her desired shape. Super easy to do yourself!
