This is an update to my other French-link and Coptic stitch video. Instead of punching sewing stations into the covers for every sewing station in the signatures, I only made 2, one for each Coptic-sewn area. After the sewing was finished, a matching end page was glued to the front and back covers.
The French-link and Coptic-stitch combination is a beautiful exposed spine binding that is much quicker than a strictly Coptic binding and also uses less thread as it uses one needle rather than multiple. Just as a Coptic book might, this exposed binding also lays flat making it ideal for journaling and sketching.
