Thanks Ford, great video. If I don't notice a loop knot on the back until I am way beyond it or actually finished stitching the project, I will use a small piece of thread (floss) to make a loop start through the knot loop and stretch it to a point where I can make it look like a travelled thread or a back stitch. Whatever works is alright with me 💚
I have found that by letting the floss dangle with the needle at the end also helps keep floss from tangling. I usually do it ever 20-30 stitches. Yes it does take a tiny bit of time, but as far as I am concerned, it beats having to frog something out to fix a knot.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been cross-stitching since I was 8 years old and am now in my early 50s, and have been battling the knot the whole time! Now I have some tips to try 😁
I have a little piece of sponge that I wet down (not sopping, just wet), and run my thread across the top of it. It straightens out kinks & I think helps with the static problem.
Thanks! I have less trouble when I use shorter threads ...which is a relative term, but in the 12 to 18 inch range. And the damp sponge (thank you, Jean Farish) helps.
I do that with my knots sometimes. Stitch over it. You could also use a pencil or pen ,or finger as a tool to hold the loop as you pull the thread so it doesn’t twist.

Thanks for the video. Where you get the loop on the back is a great idea to fix it. That seems to be one of my biggest problems. Thanks so much!

Silicone Ear plugs? Who knew??? 💙
Thank you!
Another helpful video!
Is there a way to figure out what size needle I’m working with? My thread twists all the time. Looking forward to trying your tips! Thank you!
