Bookbinding with a Sewing Machine + Paper Slipcase DIY

Binding notebooks on the sewing machine. My machine is a Singer Facilita Heavy Duty and I was able to sew up to 25 sheets of normal printer paper (not counting the cover), more than that is too much for the needle.

Sewing the notebooks with the machine was very practical and fast, the finishing was also cool, it only depends on the sewing ability, and mine is minimal 😅

I also made a kraft paper slipcase to protect a set of notebooks.

I have that same machine. It is a beast. One time I sewed through a wooden ruler accidentally.
You could glue some cardstock to some fabric or fancy rice paper to take the covers up to the next level.

Try different needles. A universal needle may only go through 25, but I bet a leather or denim needle would go through more without breaking. Great idea, nice tutorial :-)

Some of the best sound mixing I have ever heard!

OMG, I'm gonna try this when I get home. I'm always looking for notebooks with white sheets with no luck. They are so cute! Loving all your videos! Great work!

[cykrebecca]

I’d rather pay than to go through all these work! Thanks so much for sharing!! Beautiful work!

[justinmileman]

This is exactly the solution I needed for a christmas gift project I'm working on. Thank you!

The universe guided me to this

[idareandevers]

I am so glad I ran up on your site to make a notebook you are good I'm going to do this morning.😍/🙏

[cariworld]

This is amazing! And I like rock, too 😊 Thank you so much as I’m looking into having my pages I buy on Etsy (64 pages on good) sewn by a commercial printer. This is exactly the kind of sewing I’m looking for.

The colors are so pretty! They look so cuteee

[postarttarts]

Very cool! Thanks for the informative video.

[LisaGonzales]

Great tutorial. What size needle did you use?

[harrisonhoudesheldt]

I would have thought a saddle stitch like method would have been easier and better but if it gets it done it gets it done

[sophiek]

This is brilliant! Plus it looks better than any other kind of book binding I have seen. Too bad I don't have access to a sewing machine 😕
P.S. I loved it that you show the broken needle 😂

[olivia-ctbv]

Wow! This is pretty innovative! Definitely trying this in the future!

[wearetemporary]

I wonder if for slightly thicker stacks dampening the spine area of the pages would help the needle penetrate the pages more easily.

[igmkwug]

amazing! can you please share the needle size and the type of thread? This video is the best out here!

[katiasantus]

So beautiful and so welldone!! I have a sewing machine! I'll do it for sure!

[LivadasConsultingRochester]

Love the video but doesn't the thread come undone after you trim? How do you keep the loose ends in place?
