About The Event

Make Your Own Long Stitch Journal

There are many different bindings that fall under the category of long-stitch, but most are distinguishable by long stitches that attach signatures directly to the cover. This binding technique is versatile and can be applied to multiple materials, making it an excellent option for any book project. Long stitch bindings are non-adhesive and are relatively easy and quick to sew. The finished books can lay flat, making them particularly well suited to sketchbooks and journals. The sewing technique is centuries-old, originating in medieval Germany, and historically can be found on limp parchment bindings.

Students will learn how to tailor a reinforced paper cover to a stack of folded sections, prepare sewing stations in the cover and sections, and sew a basic long stitch along the spine. Some exterior sewn thread reinforcements will be introduced that reinforce the spine and can be quite decorative.
