Sewing a Chain Stitch

- This video demonstrates how to sew a chain link stitch. Some types of chain link stitches are often incorrectly referred to as Coptic stitches in the bookbinding world. In the video, a thick colored, pre-waxed linen thread is used to help emphasize sewing only. When sewing a chain link stitch, with no board attachment, we recommend using an Irish linen 18/3 thread.

![📚 EASY SINGLE SHEET Binding 👉 Make Your Own Home BOOK [Step by Step]](/img/n.gif)
This method has worked the best for me so far!!! No gaps!!
Where did you found that needle
@@abulkhayer5285search up “upholstery needles.” that will bring them up. if you want a store, check craft stores like michaels and hobby lobby
I just did this for the first time with 8 signatures, and the result looks fantastic. Thanks! Only followed your video.
I haven't bound a book yet, but I think I'll use this method on my first attempt. Thanks for sharing this.., much appreciated ! 👍🏻
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
What do I do if I run out of thread?
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!
Hey I just wanted to say thank you for making this. This is now my favorite way to stitch books and I've been doing it this way for about a year now 💖
Glad I found this! It's easy to follow and works like a charm...thank you!
Beautiful work done. Deeply appreciate it. Thank you for teaching.
Thank you so much for making this video. This is the clearest explanation I've found. ❤
After watching so many tutorials this is the best that i have found😊
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks so much!! Best, most clear and easiest tutorial I've seen so far. Helped me a lot!
Thank you! I used this for my first hand made book ever! It was very easy to follow even for a complete beginner like myself. It turned out great!
wow. book binding is an art of its own
Just finished binding two books with this method, its great.
Great tutorial! I'm a beginner and was able to follow this easily. Thanks for making this technique so accessible!
I was using different methods but this one is very simple and effective. Thank you so much !!!
This looks wonderful. You are very easy to follow along with. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.❤
I made a diary like this for the first time and it's an amazing method ❤
Your video is wonderfully easy to follow, thank you so much!
Fabulous work dear 😍,Its really appreciative method, I am from India,and was trying to bind a book but not knew the prefect way,i watched many videos,and whenever i bind,the book becomes mosquito net 🥅,but after this one my book became brand new, thank from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for doing this. Its the best tutorial ive seen! ❤
Thank you for another lovely tutorial! I am sooo glad I found your channel! :) Many more videos to watch. Taking it slow, one at a time. :)
The best explanation and view , wonderful video!!!!!😊
I was needing this so much, thank you 💐
So clear and helpful! ❤
This is very helpful, thank you so much!
So happy to find this video! I am just a beginner and have only done pamphlet stitches. I have been wanting to try sewing a text block but all the videos are either too fast or too distant. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome! Happy sewing.
The best tutorial!!!!
Thank you so much for this excellent video! First time I ever saw this type of chain stitch.
Thank You for teaching...
Thank you so much, i couldn't figure out how to do it without needing a cover.
Drg
Ótimo trabalho parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful.
Excelente trabalho parabéns queria eu um desse
Sensacional demais trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏
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?
It's amazing🤍 thank you for sharing us🤍🫂
I love it, thank you👌
Thank you!
Glad i found this thanks
This certainly looks a much tighter and more secure way of stitching the book block than just kettle stitches at each end.
Buenísimo, muchas gracias
how long of a thread did you use for this? how do you calculate how much you need?
Thank you for making this clear, so elucinative! Its a great work!
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? Thanks!
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!
So beautyful
any idea how much thread to have on hand? (ie what is the length of the thread I should cut for this binding?)
Same question, waiting for the answer
I love the end look of this. Definitely gonna try it. I'm wondering about what happens if you run short of thread though. What's the process then? Or is it required to have enough thread for the hole binding?
Hello, I do not speak English, so I am writing through a translator. I wanted to ask, what is the disorder between the holes? And what method would you recommend for stapling the book? Thank you!
AMAZING!! Thanks a lotttt!
Okay i only have the standard needle no bookbinding needle so would that still work or do I need to go out and buy a bookbinding needle??
Great tutorial! Does this method work just for 5 holes?
How do you determine the number of holes per signature?
thanks, this worked
when i can add more thread when it is needed?
If I wanted to add a cover, would I just start with that and continue as usual?
PERFETTO
If we want to install a thick cover after completing this process, how can we do this?
Arrasou 👍👌
Based and bookpilled!
What kind of paper is recommended to use? I bought watercolour paper and will have 50 book pages. But I imagine they will be hard to keep folded.
Does anyone know how to add a cover to a block of signatures like this video has?
Hi! Sorry but I wanted to ask how long the thread should be :) if anyone knows
Спасибо!!!
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?
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.
Insert a pencil or something thinner than that so the loops won't disappear
Where can I find a needle like that? I love that is not fully curved. Thank you.
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!
I just wanted to ask why a bend needle was used, when at 5:57 it all makes sense...
❤👍
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
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 thank you for the answer.
wow
🎉
🎉❤
Thank you. Can see why you recommend curved needles. Next time . . . .
واو
Glad i found this thanks
