Lite Stitches, also called Shadow Stitching by DeDe Ogden, could also be called Open Stitches. They let the canvas show through. This method can be very effective for a painted canvas that is highly shaded. With Lite Stitches, we cover the canvas with thread, while still letting the artist do all the work. This technique is especially effective for canvases with a great deal of shading and perspective. Used Book in Good Condition
