In this weekend project, we’ll be making a tough traveler’s notebook using the Coptic binding method. This unique binding method is one of the oldest in human history, dating back as early as the second century, and allows the book to lay flat when opened to any page.
I love this project, and am looking forward to beginning the year with this for my students’ notebooks (although with the kettle stitch this could be the toughest project of the year!)
I wonder if you could give me an idea of how long each piece of string should be for each needle? Thanks!
My six year old wanted to make a “real book”. We made this and it turned out great.

We’re gonna to use stamps to chemically wood burn the cover and then probably finish with oil or lacquer.
I would choose to add at least two more sets of binding holes.
hai, I want to know when is the best time to trim the edge of the signature? after binding the book or before? Thanks
