Star Stab Binding Sewing Template

Add a bold, eye-catching stitched star pattern to the cover edge of your books with this Star Stab Binding Template. In stab binding, the stitching runs through the covers and pages near the edge — not the spine fold — and this design creates a repeating star pattern that turns that edge into a real feature.

It gives your journal or notebook a strong handmade look and makes the binding part of the cover design, not just something that holds the pages together.

You can work straight from the printed template, and upload the included graph file into the app and follow the animated stitch path step by step.

This pattern is a great fit for journals, sketchbooks, handmade notebooks, and gift books where you want the edge stitching to be decorative as well as functional.
