I’ve done some canvases that have detail areas that call for backstitching over the needlepoint base stitches. But here’s my problem: I stitch the needlepoint background and then you can’t see where the back stitches are supposed to go. Does anyone have a way to mark out where back stitches go with having to just estimate? Example is the eyes on this reindeer from poppy monk

Things like special jewelry/amulets, marking body parts in different ways, special clothing, etc. I’m looking to make a resource for myself and peers with things to know when caring for these patients/families.

Is there a way to change the color of these 2 stitches to dark green without destroying my basketweave too much?
