The BEST coptic stitch tutorial on You Tube! Thank you for sharing!!!
This was extremely helpful! I usually just wing it and try a new way of stitching the pages together each time but I think I’ll stick to this next time I make a book. It was a lot faster and less tedious than the last times I’ve made a book so thank you for the tutorial.
thank you for the close ups!
Thank you so much, Faye! This is probably the easiest and simplest book-binding video that I had been looking for and I'm excited to try it out on my book! Thanks once again! :)
I love that your looping around follows one direction on both sides. Otherwise in other tutorials, I got really confused about looping around part. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Finally! The tutorial I was looking for! Thank you so much ❤️
Have used this video three times now and it has helped me sooo much, couldn't do it without you!!! Thank you sooo much!!! You save me tons!!!

THANK YOU for the reference step by step. I noticed a c curve nettle works better.
Ideal utilizar aguja curva. Gracias por el tutorial, muy bueno
Thank you so much for this.
I saw like 5 different videos and it was very hard to get this stitch. I think your video has very good camera angles which makes it way easier to understand.
Thank you! Will try it soon
Lindsay Weirich the frugal crafter recommended this tutorial. Gorgeous work.
Awesome! Thank you!

Great tutorial!
Brilliant tutorial and excellent music. Thank you !!
Thank YOU! ☺️
I've been looking for a binding which is much stronger and solid and this looks like the answer! I don't want to have to rely on PVA and muslin to keep it together. Great tutorial!
Thank you!
I am loving your channel! 🥺🥺 lately I’ve been into book making so this is great for reference and learning. 💜💜
Thank you so much! Practice makes perfect 💪💪

Great video. Can you share where you got the paper for the cover? I love the map
Love the music.
Thanks
Hey cool post! Thanks for slowing down and zooming in on the parts that matter. Any advice on how far in to poke the holes on the cover? And you nailed the length of the string, what's the rule of thumb for guesstimating? And I'd go with a curved needle, it will prevent the opening to find the needle, it just loops around the previous stitch.
Thank you Diego! The hole can be any from 1/2 inch or longer depending on your cover design. For the string estimates, I normally measure it with the spine plus the number of layers, then plus the length of covers. I did failed with the length measuring too, sometimes. 😄 also, thank you for your suggestion about the needle! I will definitely practice more with curve needles. 💛
Thank you to enjoy my story 🙋♀️and still more to come you way 📖
Thank you so much! This looks easy and very secure.
Can I do this with more than one page in a signature?
Thank you! And yes, normally we do 4 sheets per signature, but it depends on how you like the look will be you can try and play around with the number and the paper thickness to see what works best for you.
Very well explained,, 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Can you cut the chipboard to customize the size? Thanks
This is the easiest video on coptic stitching I've ever seen. Thank you so much! How long does the thread needs to be to use a one piece for this book?
Apparently it needs to be about 10 inches longer than I thought 😭 This is my first try and the last hole on my cover is empty. I’m not going to start over. Other than that it’s a great tutorial
I normally measuring the thread along the spine, also it depends on how many holes you design for the covers. I will make the video about it soon. Thank you!
Thank you! And keep it up! If the thread was not long enough we still can fixed it by tiding the new and the old threads together.
I am all way learning in my own 🌎 it help me get a story out there 📖for you to enjoy at you time 🙋♀️
Tenía la duda si se podía hacer copta sin aguja curva, ya ví que si 😊
Could you use embroidery floss for a small Coptic binding process? I’m making a journal that’s only about 4*6 inches with 3 signatures
Yes, that works too!
Brasil ❤🤭🇧🇷👏👏👏
Did you punch holes in signatures ?
How do I know how much thread to cut for each book I make?
when did you use the glue that is mentioned in the description?? :))
I use the glue for making the book covers 😊
I realize this video is 3 years old but I have a question I hope can be answered,
I got my book finished, but it won’t lay flat? Did I pull my thread too tight?
Thanks. Maggie ❤️🤗🇨🇦❤️😊
Hi Faye, came over from IG.
Hi!! Thank you!! 🤩 👋
i can use a curve needle?
Of course!
Hi again. How are you punching the holes in the chip board? I've looked and looked for information on getting a clean hole in the board. I can't find anything on how to do it.
I use a japanese screw punch.
I personally use a heavy duty awl, but there are a lots of tools out there. You can consider leather hole puncher, either manual (need hammer) or pliers.
@@BooksBindFaye I've considered a leather hole puncher. I hear a Crop-A-Dile also works. thanks for the feedback.
@@junecleary4449 thank you.
@@BooksBindFaye Hey I found the perfect tool for punching holes, its the PowerPunch. It works great.
Thank you for sharing this - it's the best one out there... even after 3 years!😉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is there any other kind of thread I could use? It seems like all waxed threads contain beeswax (none with soy wax) and I can't use any animal ingredients.
Hi! I used to use cotton thread and it seems working really great for me without bee-waxing them or you can later use soy wax. Also, you can double thread when sewing for a stronger binding. 😊
@@BooksBindFaye Double threading! Ofcourse! Why didn't I think of this? Thank you! :-)
Great video except for the horribly repetitive music...thank gawd for mute!
Can this be done without a hard cover?
Definitely!
So the first and last stitches don't looke like the same as those in the middle ?
They are not looking the same, yes. Because we did not go back through the same hole like those in the middle, instead continue binding with new signatures.
@@BooksBindFaye thank you , that was very helpful to clear things for me
Name of stitche
I think you won at Thread Chicken 🤣
Okay can we talk about how they had the exactly right amount of thread to do the whole thing
hello if you can put it in translation in portuguese i don't speak english and i understand i loved your notebook if you can put it in translation in portuguese it will be better for me to understand
Sorry to hear that. So far I can only provide it in English. Thank you for loving my work!
Speeding up is dizzying-. Especially for first two signatures.
Thank you for your feedback💛
What if your signature isn't folded
You can try Japanese binding method
How do the pages flip, though?! 🙄
Fast forwarding is too fast. I'd like to see more repetitive steps, so that it sticks in the mind. Great tutorial, though.
This video was too fast for a beginner to learn coptic binding. You never showed how you secured the 1st page :-( If this is truly for a beginner than you shouldn't be fast forwarding all the stiches
of course this is just my opinion ;-)
Thanks for your feedback! I will apply your suggestions towards my future videos 😊
It was the worst binding I have to throw it 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Thank you for your feedback. This video is an easy step binding one way that I found it easy to make book at the beginning.
That is okay with me 🙋♀️
i got a headache from this and i want to put the needle in my eye
