  • Secure your thread on the backside of the canvas by making a small knot and insert the needle from the back of the canvas to the front at the starting point
  • Move vertically to the next canvas intersection, forming a vertical stitch. Insert the needle from the front to the back
  • Insert the needle back into the canvas hole below the first stitch
  • Make a diagonal stitch parallel to the previous one, skipping three canvas intersections
  • Repeat the steps alternating between a stitch that skips one canvas intersection and a stitch that skips three canvas intersections
