    Wow, I never thought you could do a long stitch variation on a hardcover! That's so cool! Your sketchbook is so elegant and classy, I love it.

    The angled stitching on the outside makes a really lovely addition to this cover bound book. So gorgeous. A couple of questions for you from a very novice bookbinder... did you design the stitch pattern yourself? Also, I noticed that you didn't guillotine these pages, were they trimmed before you started stitching or just left to fall where they may after stitching?

    Absolutely stunning work! Would you ever consider doing a close-up tutorial on the spine binding? I would love to try it. I enjoy bookbinding and always appreciate learning a new stitch. Thank you!🙋‍♀️❤️👏🧵🪡📚

    Another wonderful and beautiful job - I really like the quiet/no ad format. Once again I like to sketch and this book would make me somewhat nervous to actually use! Thanks for a good video.

    aaah this is my dream vid! I'm finishing up my third book all because of your beautiful videos. the first was a soft felt shell with blanket stitch, then a larger scrapbook just like this (my first hardcover- ahh!) and now I'm completing a hardback journal. you are such an amazing teacher, I can't wait to read your book!
    edit: and that STITCHING PATTERN! I'm utterly in love!!! that has to be my next attempt

    I love these types of videos!!
    But I am curious, when it comes to the cover; how much space do you typically leave between the spine piece and the cover Panels?

  • @specialeffectsgraphicsdesi9066

    How beautiful! Loved the creative stiching directly attaching the signatures to the spine.
    Is the trim size A4 when closed?

    Have you ever used adhesive vinyl paper on a book cover? I picked some up today and tried it on a scrap of chip board. It went on really nice and smooth. No glue mess.

    • @bittermelonbindery
      @bittermelonbindery  Рік тому

      No I’ll have to try that. Sounds like a good way of waterproofing covers too.

    Have you try lay-flat book binding, that perfectly flat when opened?
    And for me i have try it and it's so good but really time consuming and some pages have little tape on it.
    And it's not perfect too because i want it to finish it early and because i want to start using it.

  • @tarzan8575

    I have always wondered if there is a reason why the cover cloth always goes over the spine clothe? I never see anyone do it the other way round.

    For painting sketchbooks, you should wear gloves cos the oils from your hands will negatively impact the sketchbooks's ability to absorb painting and drawing mediums.
