How to use this prompt

The thread path is the only thing that teaches the stitch, so describe it as 'looping through the fold' and 'kettle stitches at the spine edge' — without a named path the thread renders as random scribbles that cross the signatures meaninglessly. Line art lives or dies on the negative prompt: ban 'shading, gradient, color' or the model adds grey wash that breaks the clean-coloring-book look. Keep the hands simple and the fingers unambiguous; hands are the first thing to deform, so the negative 'extra fingers' earns its place. A white background keeps it printable.

Variations to try

  • Coptic stitch — the exposed chain stitch across an open spine
  • Tool flat-lay — the awl, needle, thread and bone folder arranged without hands
