    Hi! I’m just starting to work on bookbinding and luckly found your site. Your work is amazing! These variations on arrows were too difficult to make? Did you use 2 needles or 2 threads? Do you have any tutorials?
    Thanks!

      I would say that any of my Japanese patterns that have an ‘X’ across the spine are a little more difficult than the others… but still doable for a beginner. I only use one thread and needle with my patterns, though I have actually been debating trying two different colors–so stay tuned! As yet I don’t have any tutorials, but as I’ve been asked about them several times in the past week so I’ll probably be posting one soon…

Welcome to Becca Making Faces, a blog that started out as a grad school project and has become a place where I post experiments in Japanese stab binding.

Have a look around, and let me know if you have any questions!
