Coptic stitch has been my comfort binding for years, and I finally learned the multi-needle variation! Engraved on the covers are some of my favourite homebody activities: reading, knitting, and cooking. The frames highlight the illustrations and add dimension to the design, while keeping with the minimal look. I love how the double-layered covers turned out, and I decided to lean into the chunky look by creating a thicker text block. The illustrations are from Canva.

I really enjoy your "quiet" videos - just the sound of the tools and your hands working the materials. Your book is truly amazing - the work, blood, sweat, and tears of producing it were well worth the effort. Scratch Lucy behind the ears for me - a great guard dog!

Thank you so much for sharing these vids ! I was really looking for a lay-flat notebook, and I made it thanks to you ! Only had 1 needle for 6 holes, but it went quite well. It's obviously far from being as perfect as yours, a tad too lose, but I'm very very happy with it.

I hope I can do work as beautiful as this one day. Still learning

Very interesting technique and the results are wonderful ❤ love the themes too. I don't enjoy doing Coptic stitch myself but it seems that this multi-needle technique allows greater control over stitch tension, hence the perfect finish 😊

Is that a foam brush?! 😮 I never would have thought of that! Way better than a paintbrush.

@lindahigham5317 6 ай бұрын

I love using a foam brush it's so much easier than a regular paint brush

@bittermelonbindery 6 ай бұрын

I like the application of foam but bristle brushes last longer. So I'll use foam on more delicate projects or if I want to prevent any glue pooling.

i’ve been doing coptic style binding for 4 months and still love the process every time i sit down to make a book. next month i’m gonna do sewn board binding from your book and i’m so so excited! it’ll be great to have a “hardback” option without diving deeply into case binding just yet!

So beautiful! Have not seen 4 needle Coptic technique before - do you prefer this method? What are the pros and cons compared to using one needle? Would love to hear your thoguhts

@bittermelonbindery 6 ай бұрын

Check out Stone Burner Books' for a discussion on this! Personally I think the multi-needle is sturdier but the single-needle allows for more design and customization.

Gorgeous work 👏 Very subtle designs too. How would you make a baby's board book?

@bittermelonbindery 6 ай бұрын

I haven't tried that but I think Coptic stitch would be my first consideration if you can figure out how to create the signatures out of boards.

@@bittermelonbindery ah thank you Chanel ☺️ a second question, but is Mod Podge Matte a good adhesive for starting out? I've used regular PH neutral PVA on the few I've previously done, but have a load of Mod Podge from other crafts 🤔

@bittermelonbindery 3 ай бұрын

Sorry just saw this! Mod podge is acid-free I believe so you can use it, I just don't know the strength of the glue. Wouldn't hurt to try!
