Book Binding: Sewing the Coptic Stitch Style - How To Tuesday #1

The first how-to Tuesday, in which I show you how to sew a coptic bound book.
Skip to about 1:30 into the video to get to the instructional part! :)

There are several methods. This is the one I know. :P lol

** IMPORTANT NOTE: There's a part about 2/3 through the tutorial where I say to sew 'through' the loop of the signature below what you're working on. I meant sew BEHIND the loop, not through it. Sorry for any confusion there! **

Let me know if you'd like me to show you the other parts of the book preparation. Please also let me know if you end up making a book as a result of this! I'd love to hear if it was helpful :) Also, let me know if it was not helpful, and there's a part that was confusing in any way. I sped up and jumped a bit, but I promise you, you miss nothing important.
