Sewing Styles

We offer a variety of sewing styles, each designed to achieve specific results. Some styles are more decorative, adding an elegant touch to your book, while others prioritize functionality and durability.

Additionally, certain binding methods allow the book to open flat for ease of reading or display, while others do not, offering a more traditional structure.

 
Section sewn books

Section Sewn

Section sewing is the preferred method for creating a durable and flexible book. The book is sewn in folded sections, forming a book block that allows the pages to open flat.

This method is ideal for books with two-page spreads or full-bleed pages, ensuring a smooth, uninterrupted layout.

Over sewn books

Over Sewn

The over-sewing technique involves sewing individual sheets together to form a book block.

While this method simplifies file setup since there’s no need to work with sections, the finished book will not open flat.

V-sewn books

V-Sewn

The V-sewing technique is perfect for single-section books, leaflets, and pamphlets.

With a choice of colored threads, this method offers an eye-catching finish that adds character to your project.


Coptic bound books

Coptic Stitch

Coptic stitching is one of our hand-sewing techniques that highlights the sewing itself as a design feature.

With various styles available and the option to use multiple colors, it creates a striking and unique effect. This method is perfect for sketchbooks, diaries, or art projects, adding both durability and artistic flair.

Hand sewn books

Hand Sewn

For delicate older books or unique projects, we offer hand sewing, ensuring careful attention to detail.

We can sew onto cords in the traditional style or create custom, eye-catching designs to suit your specific requirements.

 

Japanese sewn books

Japanese Stitch

The Japanese stitch has been used for thousands of years and remains a popular exposed stitching option today.

Ideal for sewing single sheets together, this method is a great choice for notebooks, portfolios, or menus, offering both strength and a distinctive, elegant appearance.
