How to start and finish a backstitch with 1 strand of thread

In this video, I show you how to start and finish a backstitch with 1 strand of thread when cross stitching. I also chat about why I mostly now prefer to use 1 strand rather than 2.
At the start I have no idea why I say "2 strands of cross stitch" instead of "2 strands of thread" but hey, let's pretend that didn't happen 🤣

Thank you! I had the hardest time finding a video showing how to start and finish a single thread. It was so easy to learn from you!

thank you!! I normally stitch with two strands and was very perplexed trying to figure out how to use one strand for a pattern I'm following haha

Thank you so much. This was really helpful. I had only been doing a loop start with 2 strand before this.

I was struggling with starting a back stitch with one strand. I have referenced this video twice now. Thank you so much for the clear instructions.

I don’t understand how you secure the tread to the needle with only one strand??
