Just wanted to say that I've never tried any of this in my life, but needed a 40 page special booklet. I ran a trial using both the SADDLE STITCH tutorial methods and the JAPANESE Bookbinding tutorial, and they both turned out amazing! Your skill at making this topic not only enjoyable, but LEARNABLE is just off the charts. Thanks for doing these.
I just recently purchased a 'midori' style leather journal, and I didn't want to pay for the very expensive paper refills. This tutorial was perfect for helping me sew my own inserts. Thank you for teh very descriptive and detailed directions. Perfect.
Your videos are so wonderfully helpful and easy to follow. I used this video to help make some little journals for a friend to sell. She rescues blind and deaf dogs but takes on all the expenses. Im hoping she can raise enough money from selling the journals to rescue another dog in need. So thank you for helping with that!
It looks as though the saddle-stitch binding is more secure and sturdy than pamphlet/signature binding. I've learned a lot from watching your vids--they're clear, concise, and easy to follow. You're one of the triad of ladies here, whose works I rate above all others. Thank you so much! (Oh--the others are ContadinaK and Joggles LLC--well, I'd better add Carolyn Dube's to that list, too!
They both use thread, but I think there are 2 methods. One which you can take multiple saddle stitch books and sew them next to each other on a cover. The other is the traditional method I believe, which has a different binding method, but looks similar.
I came across this channel for binding a book for a class project and after the first video itself I decided that this channel was too good to not subscribe. Thanks to this channel, I have started liking to bind books.
I used to love your vids as a kid... now I'm in art school, and I just had to bind a booklet I made in my graphic design class--I remembered your name and looked up this vid, LOL! Still just as helpful all these years later!
This is brilliant! I've started making my own A6 notebooks for journalling, but I've been stapling up to now, and it's not as precise as I'd like, nor attractive as this. This is a perfect solution, and a lot more straightforward than I thought. Thanks.
I just finished my very first book by following this tutorial and I am so happy and proud of myself 😢 also really happy with the finished result.. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.. I can't help but subscribe to you to wait for more diys like this!! 💕💕
Wonderful video! I've recently gotten into making homemade recycled paper and needed a good way to make journals that didn't involve too much cutting or re-inforcing with bought materials, thank you! Now I can make recycled journals out of all that annoying junk mail!
I made the books!!! The tutorial was simple, and the books look great. I'm following you Sea Lemon. I want to see what other great tutorials you have. Thanks!!!
Hey! 😊 Apart from my normal RUclips routine.. I was looking into this for starting a small service in my community in this challenging time of our lives.. I love your soothing voice and great amount of effort you put into this video and the many others. I hope you read this and see my deep appreciation for your effort and work. Thank you. From the depths of my heart.. THANK YOU. Consider making audiobooks. Just a suggestion from a "secret" admirer.
A bit of humidity and a good clamp until it dries out, or some heat and it will lay as flat as is possible. I always enjoy your videos, they're so clear and concise. Thank you
I watched this video 2x's. I made a diagram and wrote down the steps. I'm looking forward to using this stitch binding in my junk journal. Thank you for a really great video!
This just saved my little binder I made to hold my planner stickers using protective sheets! I wanted extra security in the middle to make sure my sheets wouldn't break apart after fusing them, and this stitching method worked so well
Hi,,, thank you so much... I have watched many of your tutorials, love them and now just started my book projects, now making thicker books and love it so easy and fun... I cannot stop making all kinds of books...!!!
I think I'm going to try this instead of the deep throat stapler. Problem is, I can't get thread that thick (where do you get it - and the needle?) and I never seem to have enough. I'm saving this video because it's so clear. Thanks.
SL, thanks for posting all these videos, I have been using your staple saddle stitch for a while now and been itching to try the thread saddle method. Finally did it today! Followed your directions and worked perfectly. Thanks!
I started getting into journaling in earnest and this is very helpful! This tutorial is going to help me save money and customize my notebooks. Thanks!
Yours is one of the few RUclips channels I absolutely adore. Ma shaa Allah, you are very creative and you teach well, too. Keep up the great work! May Allah bless you with everything that is best both in this life and the next one.
Love it. Question, how do you keep the pages lined up? Whenever I do this the inner pages are always longer then the cover if you know what I mean. I’ve tried cutting them down but they always come out so rough
Great video and to the point. Enjoyed this and will attempt as I love everything paper, journaling, creativity, decoupage and most of all is something I can create while sitting outdoors or watching TV! Great presentation skills make or break a RUclipsr and have saved this one for reference. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial! Can you explain what makes it’s harder to work with pre-folded pages? What problems, specifically, does folding after binding avoid? Anything to be careful about with the latter?
is it possible to combined this with your method of making a text block? I would like to make a soft cover folio like this but am concerned the pages will not sit nicely with a heavier weight. I thought using signatures might help with this.
If you want to do a larger notebook with single pages, not folded. I've made many journals by clamping the paper, roughing up the bind edge and then smearing in hot glue. This is called a Perfect Binding. The pages can fall out. What I started to do a couple years ago is take those notebooks drill very narrow holes about 3/16" (6mm) from the edge and face stitching them. There's 8 holes from top to bottom on Tome River Paper (thin) A4 (Letter size). I'm pretty sure I could clamp 100 sheets (spring clamps and sticks) to keep the edges even. Then drill (battery drill) tiny bit 1/16th inch. Then sew them without using any glue at all. Either way they open and lay flat just like the hot glue only. You don't need to overly tighten the thread. Any thread will do. I have some more heavy duty thread for camping and sailing gear, these are not much different from a button thread. When I travel I pick up small super cheap note books in the convenience store. I keep them in my pocket and jot down things a dozen times a day. These are great but always start to fall apart before I fill them up with travel, sailing notes. I pushed a large needle along the edge to make holes and then sewed these as well. The way to stitch any book or notebook or these saddle bindings is two needles so they pass each other. to tighten them just occasionally do a hitch, like the first step to tying your shoes. Always evenly space out your holes or make some pattern, it looks really neat. There are many sewing methods and patterns, some where you run the thread across the spine of the binding. The most important thing is to use the journal! I find the little notebooks far more useful than any notes function on my iPhone. If you write a diary it takes about five years of writing stuff your little brother could embarrass you to death with but then you get to where you are one of your favorite writers.Two pages you wrote about an amazing experience you had a few years later contains details you'd forgotten. It all comes back alive. Journaling builds your memory. (I found that sharing a memory with someone else who was there is always great. "Remember when we saw Tina Turner perform when we got those tickets to the Jay Leno show?" In 25 years they'd forgotten.) Each entry write the date and the DAY , time of day, location. Extras, like Day at Sea #... schedule: Taking the Eurostar to London tonight. (You might forget to note that you'd taken the Eurostar, but there it is. Memory wears belt, suspenders and duct tape never hurts.) The little pocket day notes are terrific for learning. It won't take even a week to be puzzling over a note. Was it Tuesday or Wednesday that we saw the whales??? The pump went out??
I love this tutorial so much, it's very helpful for me to binding a book, but may I know, why should we start to binding from the center not from the edge? Thank you xoxo
An old pro bookbinder suggests the following. When the needle gets back to the middle hole do not go down it. Bypass it and carry on so that the needle comes back up the middle hole where the tail of the thread lies waiting to complete the knot just ensure that the skipped thread is locked in that final knot for security. Not entirely clear without a wee diagram but try it out. The needle will take care of itself I assure you. As long as you skip the middle hole.
can i do this on the top of the book and not fold it in? I know that you did videos on the coptic stitch and the single sheets but i wanted something less time consuming to do and one that works on full sheets of paper that I didn't have to fold and since majority of the paper that you can buy lined paper at least comes in portrait and not landscape.
with the memo pad thats whats made with a lot of the paper when you lined it up too fold it. the papers dont line up so did you trim it ? and or how do u make the edges round the corners? or is that in your coming soon video on memo pads?
Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial! Is there a way to bind saddle stitched signatures together after they’ve been sewn separately? I didn’t think ahead all the way and made multiple separate signatures and now I want to combine them.
Is there a suggested way to connect multiple saddle stitch books? I'm in grad school and I print out my readings in small booklets and I'd like to connect them all together as I read them.
Hi, thank you, this was great! i want to make a 21 page book with 11 pages with photos glued on and the opposite 10 pages writing. Will this work with this style of book? I think so, but I'm worried about the weight of the photos.

thank you so much. I stitched my first binding with your tutorial. have been subscribed for a while but never commented. tfs
Fantastic tutorial - I am learning from London. I sent to my friend in Taiwan too -
would you be able to do this with signatures? if so could you make a video about it please?
Thank you, this was very easy to understand and follow!
You know what i will complete if i can all of your wonderful creative projects i will certainly do my best
Is there a 'max page' count that you'd recommend for this style of binding vs sewing signatures together?
I wouldn't do much more than 40 for thin paper and 25~ for thicker paper.
For a publishing house they say no more than 92 pages. Or 23 sheets.
Thanks, ive been looking for a decent sketch book, but making my own is very convenient!
Is this binding ok for larger journals, like 12 signatures, or would you recommend long stitch? Thanks!!
Can you use vaseline to coat you thread if you don't have waxed thread or beeswax.or even chapstick just thought I'd ask.
Great video, thank you. I have used this to repair my son's schoolbooks!
Exactly what I was looking for! Great video! Well done! Liked and subbed, thank you!
So simple and easy to make! But one thing... if I don't have wax thread and just a normal one, can I use it? Or a yarn perhaps... ?
Thank you soo much!! I've been needing some memos and I have plenty of leftover notebooks!!
I love this tutorial so much, it's very helpful for me to binding a book, but may I know, why should we start to binding from the center not from the edge? Thank you xoxo

Is there a suggested way to connect multiple saddle stitch books? I'm in grad school and I print out my readings in small booklets and I'd like to connect them all together as I read them.
Are you using the needle to make the initial holes, or what tool?
Great tutorial. Thanks so much. Much more handmade with this type of stitch.
