List of required tools

Ethiopian bindings date back to the fourth century AD in East Africa as a variation of the Coptic codex, originally used for holy texts with parchment pages and wooden covers. This binding style features a unique board attachments where thread passes through diagonal channels in the boards to emerge at the edges. Pairs of sewing stations share a single thread with needles at both ends, producing an attractive, exposed, link-stitch pattern on the spine. The hardcover structure opens completely flat, making it ideal for sketchbooks, journals and recipe books.
