Ever wanted to learn how to do a hard-cover journal? Here's the first step....sewing together the signatures. Please view the first part of Bookbinding I in order to see materials and learn how to cut and prep signatures.

Sorry about my head! I had no idea it was in the way until I started editing. Something to fix for the next vid!

  • A pretty good video. It may take another three or four viewings of this, but I think I'm starting to get what the uploader here means. What a neat tutorial.

  • Journal Girl - absolutely excellent - I do like this method - very well explained THANKS for sharing !!!

    Aine

  • Hey! Thanks for sharing your techniques. I'm sure there must be a number of different ways to sew signatures together. Is there a name for this method?

  • very clear instructions! my binding is diff, this is something new. found you thru EvelineUK, glad i found you! yes, i want to see more. Thank you so much for giving this tutorial. oh, just realised this tutorial's last year! gotta check out more of your vids. Thank you again.;)

  • Thank you so much for making your videos... I can't wait to make my journal!!!! I have learned so much from you...

  • Technicalities aside ( and Rho is very good on that subject!) , I enjoyed the video and want to try one that opens flats. It's a nice alternative to a coptic binding.

  • You are a sweetheart. Thank you.

  • *laughs* The tripod is notoriously evil in that respect, as it doesn't like to stand where I want! I've tried it, and it doesn't work so well on things like this. For journal page vids, yes, but this one....hrmm. Thanks for the input!

  • I'm gonna have to give this a look, though I see a reply here that does have merit. I'm going for across from me, now, with someone operating the zoom.

  • No worries! It really helps to have imput from others so I can figure things out and make it easier for you all to view. For the next two, I film from across from me (so you're watching me) and had someone sit in to work the camera. I would have never done that if you hadn't said anything, and it worked out great!
