Geo Tulip Stab Binding Sewing Template

If you want a stab binding pattern that feels a little more modern and eye-catching, the Geo Tulip design is a lovely one to use. It creates a repeating geometric “tulip” style stitch pattern along the binding edge of your cover.

This template set was made to be practical and flexible — you get multiple size options plus a matching graph file for the Stab Binding App.

What’s included

This is a digital download — no physical item will be shipped.

You’ll receive:

• A4 Portrait Geo Tulip template

• A5 Portrait Geo Tulip template

• A5 Landscape Geo Tulip template

• Design-only pattern page

• Graph file ready to upload into the Stab Binding App

How you use it

• Print your chosen size at 100% scale

• Place the template along your book’s binding edge

• Clamp your pages and covers so they don’t shift

• Punch or pierce the marked holes

• Stitch using the numbered guide — or follow the animated stitch path in the app

Once you’ve done one repeat, the rest of the pattern becomes very rhythmic and easy to continue.

Printing tips (important for accuracy)

• Print at 100% / Actual Size

• Turn off “fit to page” or resizing

• Double-check A4 vs A5 and portrait vs landscape

• Make sure the template top and bottom line up with your page stack

• Do a quick test print if you’re unsure
