This video demonstrates how to sew a chain link stitch. Some types of chain link stitches are often incorrectly referred to as Coptic stitches in the bookbinding world. In the video, a thick colored, pre-waxed linen thread is used to help emphasize sewing only. When sewing a chain link stitch, with no board attachment, we recommend using an Irish linen 18/3 thread.

I just did this for the first time with 8 signatures, and the result looks fantastic. Thanks! Only followed your video.

I haven't bound a book yet, but I think I'll use this method on my first attempt. Thanks for sharing this.., much appreciated ! 👍🏻

Thank you SO MUCH! I have tried various methods which resulted in gaps between my signatures and was about to give up. But thanks to you I have now found my favourite way to sew my signatures and NO GAPS!! Thank you xx

@magencrisis1682 2 месяца назад

Wonderful video!!! I decided to try book binding for the very first time today. I made signatures by folding some A4 printer paper I had on hand, secured them with a saddle stitch, then joined them together using this method. For a long time I thought I was just too impatient and easily frustrated to sew things by hand, but I sat for like three hours straight just binding this book and having a good time, so I guess all I needed was the right tutorial!

love this video! would you recommend this stitch for a book that has 32 signatures? or is the chain stitch not strong enough to hold that many signatures? thank you!

@winterlude100 Год назад

So happy to find this video! I am just a beginner and have only done pamphlet stitches. I have been wanting to try sewing a text block but all the videos are either too fast or too distant. Thanks so much!

This certainly looks a much tighter and more secure way of stitching the book block than just kettle stitches at each end.

@Annc1ta 7 месяцев назад

AMAZING!! Thanks a lotttt!

@KathleenRenninger 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much; a very clear explanation, both visually and verbally. Seems to be a lot simpler than Coptic, but accomplishes the same thing; the book opens flat. My only problem: I got gaps between each signature. What did I do wrong?

@ezereis10 4 месяца назад

Thank you for making this clear, so elucinative! Its a great work! People, I need some advice, I have problems to work with a lot of thread, because I am doing a 15 section notebook and passing all the line by each one of the holes is very time consuming, also creating undesirable knots is very possible.Can anyone suggest any technique to work with so much thread or something to help me? Thanks!

@vikiheya 11 месяцев назад

Hello, I do not speak English, so I am writing through a translator. I wanted to ask, what is the disorder between the holes? And what method would you recommend for stapling the book? Thank you!

@giovannascotti488 23 дня назад

Great tutorial! Does this method work just for 5 holes?

@marioferreiravilanova3416 3 месяца назад

I love the end look of this. Definitely gonna try it. I'm wondering about what happens if you run short of thread though. What's the process then? Or is it required to have enough thread for the hole binding?

@alicejohnson9080 10 месяцев назад

How do you determine the number of holes per signature?

@selcanabdullayeva5794 11 месяцев назад

Okay i only have the standard needle no bookbinding needle so would that still work or do I need to go out and buy a bookbinding needle??

@lara5croft 18 дней назад

What kind of paper is recommended to use? I bought watercolour paper and will have 50 book pages. But I imagine they will be hard to keep folded.

@Heiitsbea 5 месяцев назад

Hi! Sorry but I wanted to ask how long the thread should be :) if anyone knows

@gatinhaperez-di1mo 17 часов назад

the fact that the last hole (at the right) in the botton signature doesn't hold a loop, makes the entire stitching look different than the rest :(

@artgoyle 2 месяца назад

I just wanted to ask why a bend needle was used, when at 5:57 it all makes sense...

@winterlude100 Год назад

So I tried this several...many times tonight. This is first time I used waxed linen thread, but I really couldn't get my stitches to stay taught like I can with a pamphlet stitch. My loops kept disappearing so I started making them bigger lol...kudos to you and your small loops lol! Any advice on the stitching?

@ThePreservationLab Год назад

One thing you could try is sewing both the top and the bottom at the same time. You'll need two needles, but some people find this easier to get better tension.

@aanchal3502 9 месяцев назад

Insert a pencil or something thinner than that so the loops won't disappear

@mysequineye8805 2 года назад

Where can I find a needle like that? I love that is not fully curved. Thank you.

@ThePreservationLab 2 года назад

Jessica actually curved that one herself. It's a standard straight bookbinding needle - she heated up the needle on her gas stove at home, and using two pairs of pliers, bent it into her desired shape. Super easy to do yourself!

@saffronknitworks 2 года назад

What is Coptic stitch then? I'm confused now after seeing this. If this is Chain Link stitch which looks very similar to what I have seen referred to as Coptic Stitch for years. What is the difference exactly? Please help. Thank you

@ThePreservationLab 2 года назад

Thanks for your question! Within the bookbinding community coptic is generally a catch-all phrase that refers to this type of sewing and generally includes the covers being attached via the sewing. Within the conservation field we do not use this sewing type to attach the boards, we only use it for sewing the textblock of a book - so we call it a chain stitch. Within our field a "Coptic binding" refers to a historical era of bookbinding. Here are some examples from the Morgan Library: www.themorgan.org/collection/coptic-bindings
