What You Will Learn?

  • In this Class you will learn how to do a 2-needle Coptic binding. Like all Coptic binding styles this technique is great to make chunky blank journals. Your finished book will open completely flat which makes filling it with writing or drawing so much better..
  • I will also teach you how to make hard, paper decorated covers for your book..
  • One of the great features of all the Coptic binding styles is that they are kind of like a mix and match assortment of techniques. You can combine the cover attachment with any Coptic binding style you might already know, and you can combine the 2-needle sewing technique will any cover attachment that you already know..
  • To make this matching easier, I also show you how to attach the hardcovers to a book you are sewing in a one-needle technique. It is technically the same attachment, but can look different enough with just one needle, that I thought it worth to show separately..
  • So if you are coming from my Beginner's Class on Coptic bindings, in which I taught a one needle technique with a soft cover, after this class, you'll be able to make 4 different types of books, combining both sewing and cover techniques freely with each other..
