I'm a professional bookbinder, and I've been making traditional books and "Artist Books" for over 6 years, and this video is the most easy-to-understand, straight-forward instruction I've ever seen on how to sew a headband. Well done!
hey man how someone can turn into a profesional bookbinder? i'm teaching myself trough YT tutorials but i don't know if there are like schools where they teach you
Hi Chezlin, I am an amateur bookbinder and found your method of sewing head and tailbands most useful. I used to sew the conventional method which did not include gluing the bands to the top and bottom, and it was so much more difficult trying to hold the pieces of cord in place. This method overcomes that without depreciating the conventional bookbinding methods. Many thanks Colin
I’ve been searching for a good headband tutorial for a while, and this is the best one I’ve found yet ! It’s really well explained and easy to follow, so thank you for that.
I’ve been doing a handmade book for an art project and I recently have jest been doing research on all the different processes and techniques to get this right. I am doing the head bands tomorrow as well as attaching the cover before binding not in leather. Thank you for this video it will help a lot
Thank you thank you thank you for making and sharing this video! I've been looking book headband that's not for coptic stitch and here it is, the most clear and organized one. I know this is an old video but I hope you realize how this is still one of the best headband video in TH-cam!
wait holy crap I think I finally understand this! I've made two dozen books in the past year but all with glued headbands because I was just too intimidated to sew right on. But I'm absolutely going to try this on my next text block! The tissue holding the cord in place is also such a good idea. Thank you so much!
Right know, i'm using the premade headbands for my works, but i'm planing on a quite big work rught now and i love the two-colored headbands. So glad, i found your video. So easy to understand! I can't wait, to try it myself!
I love your videos and honestly i'm so amazed by all the stuff you know how to make and i get stupid excited every time i see you've put a new video up lmao Please keep doing what you do :) ♥ Love!
That's a great video! I have been trying to learn how to do this for a while from books, but it's much better to watch a video, and yours is quite clear. Thank you!
Great video! Love the idea. I've linked it many times :) Going forward, I'm only going to use fabric instead of the paper. I found it to be too pulpy, and eventually breaks down despite the glue, and delaminates over time.
Eric True Eric ~ I’ve used wide ribbon on mine ~ I lay the cord in middle of ribbon the width of spine and fold/glue over it drying with a clip ~ then I glue it in place on book block ~ sometimes I just leave it like this and other time’s I Embroidery it as well!
So sweet darling really I appreciate your hard work I also book binding for myself and I was in search of like that sewing ....Mine was different way of sewing but your way of sewing is tremendous 💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you so much for this video! I've seen so many videos trying to understand how to do this and you just made it perfect and so easy to follow! Thank you so much. Keep up with the bookbinding videos please! :)
Do the book pages lie flat with the header and footer sewn on? Or does it make the pages too tight for an art journal? Absolutely hope you do more tutorials. This was super easy to understand. Thank you!
is there a way to do this without sewing into the end pages of the text block or into the holes of the signatures? i don't like the fact then when i open the book on that page I'm gonna clearly see the strand of embroidery floss on the top and bottom of the page.
it also provides structural support for books that are vertically shelved tightly. this way, when you take it out, the pressure is more on the text block and not the cover.
I have this cool idea - it would be great if you did how to make a book so for example the first video would be hoe to make the signatures and text-block and so on and so forth . I would like to Bind a book and you seem an expert!
Aiden Martin she already has a video up! also sea lemon is a great channel for all things paper craft and bookbinding. she has super detailed videos on text blocks and stuff. definitely go check it out!
Clever but unnecessarily complicated! Just stick string to fabric with double sided tape. Fold over tightly. Cut to width (of spine) x one inch long, and stick to spine of text block. It takes one minute max.
Hello! Great tutorial! What kind of thread did you use? I tried it with thin sewing thread (which looked horrible), so I want a thicker thread. What size, type, name, of thread did you use??? Thank you!
Thank you! I used floral stationary paper and burgundy book cloth. I got the paper from the craft store, but I believe I got the book cloth from talasonline.com. I had some leftover from back when I took a bookarts class in college :)
chezlin Thanks for considering my suggestion! But can you do it sooner if possible because me and my friends are making a book and we're nearly finsihing the text block😊 just hiping you could do that tutorial sooner☺☺
That's a huge text block! How many pages/sheets of paper did you use? :D Can pleaaasssee say you'll show how you made the finished book at the end? I can't find anyone showing off how to make a larger book :3
How can I add a charm loop to my headband if my book is already assembled? I'd hate to start all over, but I'd love to add a loop to attach charms and bookmark ribbons.
Bookmark ribbons would be attached to the textblock itself and shouldn't interfere with the headband. The charms, you might be to split the embroidery thread into a smaller number of skeins (each piece of embroidery thread has 6 of these skeins - individual threads) say 2, and wrap the charm around existing threads but honestly, this isn't something I've attempted, so I can't say for sure.
Very nice video, but why did you speed it up to super-fast-forward right at the crucial moment of actually showing the stitching progressing? In all respect, that would have been very nice to see in progress :-)
Oh no! I'm sorry! I showed two stitches at normal speed (well, three technically, cuz I showed how to do the special stitch too) and assumed that was enough to get the jist, but rewatching it now, I probably could have done a few more stitches at the normal speed... I just didn't want the video to get super tedious, haha 😅 I do actually have footage of me sewing a few more stitches at normal speed, but it's on my instagram. If you're curious, here's the link to it: instagram.com/p/BMWvkzsjzuy/ There's no speaking in it though, it's strictly just me sewing the headband set to music~

paco enriquez there are. Not necessarily a whole school on it but maybe classes
@@lucykeiko2339 For this book I used some faux leather cording that I had for jewelry making

Tacking stitches?
This is by far the best endband tutorial out there! I pull it up and follow along with you every time I sew endbands :)
Every time I watch this I say "Gorgeous!" Like it's the first time I've watched.
I love how I searched for a better video about headbands, and found your channel, which I already follow and love.
So clear and easy to follow. I have been trying to find a tutorial for this for ages. Thank you so much. x

SO much easier than using a loose cord! Thank you for your method. I've done for bands so far and they're looking good! 👍

I just started book binding this month and this was so easy to understand!! But, can someone tell me the importance/function of head/tail bands? TIA!
Thanks for this easy to follow instructions! This was the last step i needed to learn in order to finish my first book!
I love how you explained and showed how to make a head and tail band. Thank You.
So beautiful!!! Thank you for teaching us, I've been searching fot his for such a long time!!! I hope life brings you a lot of joy 💜👏👏👏

You are my favorite DIY channel!
It's so cool! I will probably never need to do this myself but it's still so cool to know how.
I'm always in awe of u...u have so much talent in so many areas!! it's always a pleasure to watch ur video's
I love all your how-to guides
So beautiful. Brilliant explanation. Thank you so much for sharing.

Great demo of a head and tail band
Love all your videos 💖

You are good at what you do. You're at 90%, the other 10% is smiling.
Great video! Love the idea. I've linked it many times :)

Thank you 🙏 this was exactly what I needed
Can you set or round the spine after you do the headbands? Or should you wait to do the headbands until after they are rounded
This is so beautiful!!!! 😍👏🏼 Thanks for a wonderful tutorial!!! 💖

This is so beautiful!
You are amazing. Thank you so much for the wonderful instructions.
Amazing. I loved !! Thanks for sharing!!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Thank you so much for this how-to.
It was easy to fallow, and my head and tail bands turned out wonderful.
I so happy. Thank you. :)
I'm so happy it turned out great for you!!
chezlin I never thought of using tissue paper to hold the cord.
GOD! I LOVE your videos!!!
Love this video! you should make a tutorial for this journal! With the same sizes and such!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Is this possible with 6 colours? And how would you do that?
thank you for showing how-to.
much appreciated
Do the book pages lie flat with the header and footer sewn on? Or does it make the pages too tight for an art journal? Absolutely hope you do more tutorials. This was super easy to understand. Thank you!
Awesome how you glue in the core and thread through it
Brilliant! Thank you.

Obrigado ♥ seu vídeo ajudou muito! Faz tempo que eu procurava algum que ensinasse direitinho. Vou aderir ♥
Muito muito obrigada ❤️❤️
Que trabalho incrível!! 👏🏼👏🏼
What is the purpose of the head/tail band??
What does it do? Or is it just decoration?
Dragonne Gypsy it covers the stitches in the spine and it also looks nicer
@@pizzajam6494 mmmh... I see, thanks 🤣😁😁

excellent tutorial as usual! Out of curiosity, what will you be using the book for :D?
Beautiful❣️❣️thank you for sharing❣️
Her face is always look so sad,but I really love her crafts and her voice..😊😘
Hello! Great tutorial! What kind of thread did you use? I tried it with thin sewing thread (which looked horrible), so I want a thicker thread. What size, type, name, of thread did you use??? Thank you!
That looked like embroidery floss to me.
The book is gorgeous! What cover fabrics did you use for the cover? I like the texture of the red on the spine part.
Thank you! I used floral stationary paper and burgundy book cloth. I got the paper from the craft store, but I believe I got the book cloth from talasonline.com. I had some leftover from back when I took a bookarts class in college :)
ohhh this is so adorable *-*
I love how you made the cover of the book! Can you make a tutorial for that? Please!!!!
Thanks! I can definitely do that! I'll add this suggestion to my list! :)
chezlin Thanks for considering my suggestion! But can you do it sooner if possible because me and my friends are making a book and we're nearly finsihing the text block😊 just hiping you could do that tutorial sooner☺☺

nice and cool! :)
Why do you sew head/tail bands on a book?
nice
Make spell book but easy
New subscriber too
I recommend doing Google adsense thing for better monetization
fairly certain chezlin has google adsense activated on her videos. its a bit of a misconception that youtubers earn tons of money through it which is why she uses patreon to support her income to continue making videos... This is if you were suggesting her to use adsense over patreon...
Such a nice voice...:)
That's a *THICC* book
Oh yeah no one comment that she looks like ariana if you're skinny, Ariana big version♡♡ I just wanna say you're pretty
Ariana Grande?????
U seem sad
Do I? I'm not sure if I was, but I filmed this a while ago, so maybe I was that day? It is a mystery!
