write your letters out in pencil.
chose your string. they usually look like either of these at the craft store.
does anyone else still have one of these from making friendship bracelets in grade school?
cut off a length and pull 2 strains off. thread your needle and put a knot on the end.
start at the beginning.
make your stitches about 1/8" long.
come up from the back. 1/8" stitch.
come back down and fill in the gap.
come front again in the same hole.
1/8" stitch again
finish a line and start again
sometimes the thread might get snagged up on itself in the back. watch out for this. it will mess up the front when it comes untangled later.
all done. front.
back.
TIP: make sure you don't pull too tight or leave your stitches too loose. you want your thread to lay flat against the fabric without puckering.

thanks! That's how I was thinking of doing it.
