I taught double needle coptic stitch binding to the Letterpress and Bookmaking class at Kennesaw State University yesterday. Mine are the ones with book dust jackets on them. All of them cane out rather well and I'm proud of my students. It was a really complicated such for beginners :-)

This is a new style I'm trying out, double coptic stitch. I used the dust jacket of an old 1970s Hobbit as the cover. Available at www.stagheart.etsy.com

This map book is made from an antique map I found in an old atlas. It's very old school for those who go outside the lines :-) Available at www.stagheart.etsy.com
