Journals with Two Needles Coptic Stitch

In my quest to master the Coptic Stitch and to make journals, I tried using two needles at the same time to make these two journals.The reason I wanted to try this method of Coptic Stitch is that I didn't want a long line of thread on the inside of the signatures. The thread can get in the way when creating in a journal.

The stitching in this first journal is a bit wonky. The second and fourth row of stitches are lopsided as compared to the first and third row of stitches, which have the nice braided look.

I'm still going to use this journal for myself because the desire effect of having the pages lay flat is achieved. I used paper that I have monoprinted for the signatures so, I'm not staring at a blank page when I start creating.

My second attempt at Two Needles Coptic Stitch was much better. All 4 rows of stitching have the even braided look.

 As with the first journal, I used paper that I have monoprinted as signatures.
