3. Press a 4×4 square into a triangle, open it up and lay it down
matching the pressed edges with the stitched triangle. I marked a line to
continue the long edge, made it easier to lay it with the stitched line.

    Being a reader, I’m always carting at least one book around with me wherever I go, and invariably my bookmark will fall out. I can see how this kind of bookmark wouldn’t slip out as easily as those dangly beaded ones! Hrmmm… I wonder if there are rubber or silicone threads, that will kind of grip the pages for extra security. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you so much for this fantastic idea! 8)
