I know this video is 9 years old, but thank you so much for making it! I just finished binding my first ever book, which I made from scratch with handmade paper and a cover I made from scrap fabric. This tutorial was exactly what I needed! I love my new book, so thank you for being part of that process through CZcams!!
Your tutorials are straight forward and easy to understand with no superfluous chatter! You show some very helpful techniques. I'm ready now to do my first long stitch binding, then try out your method for text block and also make a book press. Woot!! Thanks, Sea Lemon.
I was looking through many of your tutorials and I just wanted to congratulate you on your skill, on the presentation , on the way you make your youtube movies (without some annoying music in the background for example), generally very beautifully and professionally done , WELL DONE and good luck , .. and keep it up :)
i love book binding. i learned about this technique in an artist book making class 5 years ago. i made multiple books using this technique and ive done other book making techniques that were just as fun
I really appreciate all of your tutorials -- been trying to figure out the long stitch binding and your video was perfect. Thank you for your clear video, calm voice and descriptions!
I nearly choked when I was going through some of the older Nerdforge videos and they linked to you, mine two favorite CZcamss
Finally worked up the nerve to try long stitching a book. Thanks for posting such a clear, instructive video.
Thank you so very much for your thoroughness and attention to detail! This is, hands down, the best tutorial for this on YT!đ
I just read some of the comments and also found the recipe tutorial where you show what paper you used, so thank you again! E
I used to always use coptic, but honestly I think I like this one the best. It's got a really nice style to it, the spine is protected, and it's a bit quicker. Excellent instructions as always, thank you for the video!

Nice binding Sea Lemon
How different is the process for doing this but making it hardcover? I love the look of the long stitch binding but I really want that solid spine and cover on it. Any advice?
I have to do an artist book as my final project for one of my classes and this tutorial helped me so much! I appreciate that you took the time to share this process :)
@Sol Cruz and cose143 You'll be able to see what paper I used in the next video going up tomorrow for the recipe journal. I got the paper from a pad of Strathmore Toned Tan :)
I am having trouble keeping the first little loop from coming through the hole. Should I use something to prevent it from doing so, and then removing it (Ex: Another needle, hair pin)?
I love your videos!! Keep up the GREAT work!!
Thank you another bookbinding tutorial,please make more of them! Some future suggestions-plain longstitch,buttonhole binding,some of the cross structure bindings,link stitch,single quire coptic binding,ledger binding,and so on & so .....
Ericka Tejada - Yes this works with as many pages as you want :D
I've been trying to find something on how to make "soft cover" journals for awhile now! A few months back I learned how to Coptic stitch journals, and now I found this! THANKS! I want to dish out as many journals as possible for Christmas presents this year. :)
Thank you for this video, it really helped with the book that I made. Without your video, I could not have done it so thanks
Finally, ive actually applied this binding technique in my journal thank you for thisđđ
So well done! Thank you for this tutorial!

You make it seem so easy
Very interesting and helpful. Thank you.
Great tutorial!
This was so helpful!!!!!
This is a really good video:)
Looks great, tfs!
Hi! Such a clear and amazing tutorial! I was just wondering if can I punch the holes closer together on the leather so that the signatures would be tighter together?? Also, would I be able to reinforce the leather by gluing some stiffer paper on the inner side of the leather so that it wouldn't be flopping around like that?
What is the best type of binding for a book you will keep adding pages to as time goes by, i.e. loose sketches?
Wonderful. Thank you
Fantastic...thank you !!
This looks cool too
what will happen if you somehow add hard covers to this? will it fall apart or look bad?
Beautiful! â„.â„
I used this method on a soft candy box and it looks cool. I left one flap to add a rubber band and make it close.
Can you do a tutorial for an old altoids tin?
Wonderful.
Hi!! i was wondering if i can use this method for single sheet book binding instead of signatures?
i love your tutorials, they have helped me do my own bookbinding so easily! can you do a tutorial on coptic endbands? thank you so much!!!
Could the iron-on adhesive paper backing be used on a leather cover like this as you did in the travel journal project?
A really well presented tutorial - it cannot be easy to film as well as this while concentrating on the work in hand. I used paper this once - handmade made in Tibet, I was sad to part with the book!
Hey! Im using this tutorial right now and am all prepped, but am wondering if it matters whether you start at the front or the back of a pre printed book. Love your tutorials! xx
i love you all vidoes
Simple but elegant
Do the measurements of the leather and hole placement change much if you do not wish to tear the 1 inch border off???
can you long stitch a cover to a coptic stitch book?
Thank you, THANK YOU! :D
Thanks, is there any reason you can think of apart from time for a limit on the number of signatures that a be bound using this method?
I have a lessons from very special course that I would like to bind.
Each lesson is on average 3 sheets (6 pages). On normal printing paper and there is 48 of them.
Or is there a better method that comes to mind ?
I would love for them to lie flat when opened.
I can't wait to make one of these! I think I will want to make it out of red leather...
Ill try that someday
Sea Lemon posso fazer esta costura mas em capa dura, isto Ă© sem ser no couro?
i want to do this but i want to reinforce the leather cover a bit more, say with glueing a heavy weight paper to it, or something? do u have any advice
Do you have any recommendations for purchasing paper in bulk or at good prices? I have found the huge rolls economical but nearly impossible to work with. Thanks for this tutorial! Looking forward to trying this soon. :)
Hello I love your tutorials , you could teach bookbinding make buttonhole 2 binding holes.
Thank you
You make this look so easy! But I do wonder why you use double tread. I use waxed linen thread.
Hi !So, I have a question : what's the biggest difference between this method and the coptic stich one please? Mainly time I think, but is there something else? Thanks!
A quick question: for this type of binding, what other material besides leather or vinyl would work as alternatives? Would paper work, say if I used heavier cardstock? I'm afraid of the cover and the journal not having much of a solid structure, if that makes sense. Thanks so much and please keep doing what you're doing. Your tutorials are clear, well explained, enjoyable and very detailed. I've successfully made River Song's journal thanks to your tutorial :)
I love it I made the same thing
Really Love your videos and have been inspired to do some binding myself!! Is there a chance you would consider doing a short video on which binding methods are best for which projects, when signatures are most applicable, and what to consider when choosing the type of cover when binding is complete? I'm fumbling my way through these, I think eventually I'm making the right decisions, but curious if there is an easier way for me to layout my idea from the beginning without having to figure out if it's better done a different way? Oh dear, I hope this makes sense, seems I'm talking in a big circle, my apologies!!
nice very simple
Hey ! I'm going to use vinyl for my project and it seems a little fragile.. Is 3mm between signatures enough ? I'm afraid it's going to tear appart through years.. ?
Nice video and amazing channel thank you a lot ! : D
Be-au-ti-ful đ„°đ„°đ„°
if I use cover with carton paper, will it be okay and not tear apart? Thanks..
What kind of paper did you use? I really like it.
I have been watching some of your tutorials and have given you thumbs up before, but this is the one that made me choose to subscribe. This is a lovely binding technique and really looks good. The book is so classy and elegant-looking with tactile appeal. The leather looks so soft and flexible. I also like the look of those papers, which make me want to touch. Where are they from?
I only wish that you would leave off the music, as I find it distracting and would prefer to just hear your voice, which is soft and professional. It is all you need to convey your experience in bookbinding. I admire how concise and clear your videos are. TFS and greetings from England.

Hi. I'm Terezinha, from SĂŁo Paulo, in Brazil. I really loved your project. I'd like to learn more types of stitching it. Do you have more?
Thanks so much!!!!...tfs..Annie
can you recommend other bindings besides leather?
What kind of paper did you use in this book and what is the weight? I love all you videos!!!
what kind of paper did you use? :O and where can i get some?
My signatures didn't stack up on top of each other in the back. What did I do wrong?
Now this stitch looks simple still havenât figured out Coptic stitch though
Could you make a midori traveler's notebook??
Is there any other type of material you can use instead of a type of cloth
just mad epic book can noit wait to becum a pro authur like my favorite docter seuss i want to meet him one day
Awesome. I love the way you make stationary cool.. Question, what is the largest sketchbook you ever made?
Thanks :) The largest one I've made is actually the first video I uploaded here. I tend to stick to the sizes of paper that are most accessible and figure out the book size from there.
Tutorial starts at 1:09
Hi! I would like to see a coptic long-stitch combination
so my book has 15 signatures with 2 paper fold in half and i dont know how much sapce should i leave in between
Okay, this is a VERY late comment, but do you know what stitch to use if I were to stitch a piece of leather symbol to a leather book?
