Backstitch

You are a needle. Behind you runs a red thread.

Your thread blocks you on the side of the card where it lies, but the card has two sides. Dive through an eyelet and you can slip under your own stitches. Every eyelet works once.

Sew cross-stitches that need thread on both sides, slip under buttons and over tape, push paper patches, weave over-under-over across warp threads, and finally stitch pictures where the front of the card is the picture.
