4. Backstitch

5. Binding Stitch

How to Stitch this Canvas:

Before you begin, here’s the stitching order we recommend to achieve the same look as our sample:

1. Start with the French knots. They’re much easier to work on an empty canvas, and this ensures you won’t miss any holes once the rest is stitched!

2. Stitch the design and background. Work these areas as usual, filling in all the canvas around the French knots. 

3. Add the backstitch “cord.” Follow the printed guide or a reference photo to connect all the light bulbs smoothly.

4. Finish with the binding stitch. This gives your bookmark a clean, polished edge so you can easily finish it and use it every day :)
