Hi - I bring the needle up from the back of linen, so that the ends of the thread are always at the back of the work. I don't have a video showing the start of a pattern, but most of the designs are in backstitch. The Royal School of needlework has brilliant resources for blackwork here: rsnstitchbank.org/technique/blackwork
How do you start the first stitch? Bring needle up from back or start from the front? Do you have a video on how to start a pattern? Thanks
