Coptic Stitch Book
This is a coptic stitch book I made recently using one of the handmade rose papers from June’s Paper Club. I used a single needle to sew the coptic stitch through 9 sewing stations, and I added a wrapper to each signature from using June’s dill paper.

I like coptic stitch (I do the two needle one,) but I’m don’t like how the books have too much wiggle in them. I know with wooden boards, there’s a more complicated coptic (with headbands), and less wiggle, but have not done the headbands…

There is a way to reduce the wiggle without the headbands
