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 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 KZfaq!!

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! - Nox

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?

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. Elaine x

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!!

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 :)

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.

Hi! Do you mean the knot on the inside of the pages? For that it is just a simple knot, usually tied onto the previous thread on the inside, then I cut the ends off and tuck them underneath the thread so they aren't sticking out. Thanks for the love on my tutorials :D
