Another alternative to a punch cradle is a fairly thick hardcover book. Open to about the center and place your signature in the spine area just as if it was the cradle. Works really easy!!
I'd suggest you use a bulldog clip to hold the opposite side so the signatures stop twisting about & you wouldn't need to adjust their position all the time
If you used a needle at both ends to sew the top and bottom of each signature before moving on to the next signature, I believe your signatures would be more equal and secure than doing all the bottom then all the tops. Just my thought, anyway, I love your book and plan to make some of my own. Thanks! Cheers!!
Perfect tutorial! Your teaching process was a pleasure to watch. Precise information and great attention to the details. So happy to have found your channel and definitely a new subscriber 🤗🤗🤗
What a beautiful tutorial! Thank you for explaining so good, step by step. Thank you for thinking also of those people that don't have all the facilities and occupy their last years "playing" with their hands and papers. Thank you with all my heart.
Great tutorial and easily adaptable to any size given the techniques. I have been wondering how to make these and now I feel confident I can. Thank you for sharing the technique with us. 😀🌼✨✨✨
Fabulous tutorial!!! I've never seen this technique, now I'm dying to try it myself. I love your style, so easy going and relaxed, allowing space for us to be individual. Great work!
Also wanted to say Thank You for a really easy to follow tutorial. Can’t wait to try this method! Love your paste paper signature cover paper. Very pretty design! 🙋♀️👍👏📔❤️
What a great tutorial! Would this method work for just three bigger signatures instead of six small ones? Would it be strong enough? Thank you very much!
Thank you for this easy to follow video. I like to make myself a journal for each holiday we take and I like to learn new techniques of book binding to make each one a little different. Your video was so easy to follow and I now have a beautiful button hole stitched book for my next holiday. I don’t think this will be the last one I make either. 😀
Love the tutorial -- your instruction style is wonderful -- friendly and succinct. Everything is so well thought-out, telling me you've done this a time or two. :) Thank you!
I was hoping you could give me advice on how to trim the right edge of the book without trimming the cover on this. I'm trying to make 8 of these with 5 signatures each, but the edges are too uneven to flip through the book. I wonder if I should try to trim each signature before I bind them, or bend back the covers and trim all of them at once after I bind them. What think you?
Trim each signature before you bind them. Much easier this way and will match more accurately. I tried to neaten the edges after binding and it ended up looking worse. I was using a scalpel as I have no guillotine. If you have a guillotine then it is easier to trim the edges after it is sewn together.
We used Cave Paper, heavy weight, which according to the description on their site ranges from .020-.026" in thickness. Any thick and sturdy cover stock should work!
Really enjoyed watching the tutorial, very informative and explained everything clearly. Thank you for all your tips, they absolutely make a difference in your end product.
Glad you enjoyed it! Jessica made several books while filming this, so when she changed angles she switched to a different book. Apologies if there was any confusion!
This is a game-changer for me. I make journals and planners, which would definitely be a different twist that my audience would enjoy. Thank you for the step-by-step tutorial. I had to save this so I can try it once I get the punch cradle from Amazon.
Wow I haven't done journal book for awhile your system is very good neat an tidy different easy to follow thanks so much never seen this binding b4 an ❤ it thanks very much subscribed kk from rotorua nz awesome
I don't know if my idea is good but I say it anyway. Maybe it would be easier to work with two needles and do at the same time the top and down of every signature. 😁
That's definitely a good route to take, and one I've done. For filming purposes it would have been more confusing, but for ease, I definitely recommend it.
It's available a couple different places, but we generally buy them through Talas: www.talasonline.com/Triangle It's definitely one of our favorite tools in the Lab!

Did I miss the dimensions of the papers?
Really clear thanks liked and subscribed but I’m unclear what weight card you used for the cover

Love this! How come you changed the marble paper to the blue?
