The Magical Loop Start Method for Cross Stitch and Embroidery

If you have ever wondered how to begin your thread without a knot this tutorial is for you.
The loop start truly does feel like magic in its simplicity, but it is so useful.
So here we go! How do you do a loop start?
You separate your floss so you have one long strand. You bring the two ends of the thread together so you have a loop on one side. Thread the two ends into your needle. Insert needle from the bottom making sure to keep the loop on the backside. Make your stitch. Finally insert your needle through the loop on the back to secure!

The tip at the end for breaking this down for a single thread (or any odd number) is PURE GOLD. Thank you!!!!

[@alliepaigeart]

@@kplicanic I cannot tell you how many headaches it has saved me, I’m so glad you enjoy it too!

[@121mzc]

So simple! But a total game changer! Thanks for sharing!

[@alliepaigeart]

It really is! It’s been so hard to go back to another method after learning this

[@kragary]

It seems so obvious now yet somehow I'd never thought of it before! Thank you for the video, I want to try this immediately!

[@alliepaigeart]

It’s such a game changer! I hope you love it. It’s so satisfying somehow 😂

[@katiemcnelis533]

Thank you for sharing!!! If only there was a way just as magical to end a cross stitch other than random burying.

[@alliepaigeart]

I wish that everyday!

[@Sabrowsky]

I was long suffering by doing lil' knots on the end of the line so it would stick in the back. This seems much *much* easier.

[@alliepaigeart]

especially for cross stitch it really really is. It's such a nice starting method. I've never gone back once learning this

[@mslonghair4570]

I do it from the front since i work on big pieces on a stand and almost never need to turn it over. Also use waste knots and pin stitches to start and stop threads.

[@alliepaigeart]

Definitely more ways to do it!

[@ali_yayyy]

WOW

[@alliepaigeart]

It’s the best!

[@muslimah_soumaya123]

I always wondered how it's done thnks ❤

[@alliepaigeart]

My pleasure!

[@zecuse]

I recently saw a video of using a Munter hitch to do a 1 stranded loop start. The starting stitch will have 2 threads, but everything else will just be 1.

[@agnesjoseph2287]

How about I use 6 strands or 12 strands for embroidery . How to start?

[@iamadogge3749]

Hiii girly...I really want to learn embroidery 🪡 ...Where do I start, what do I buy? You know... all that good stuff !! Can you please ? Love you always byeeee ❤❤

[@alliepaigeart]

I just made a long form video that will help you!

[@WW-34]

Way easier doing it from the front instead.

[@alliepaigeart]

@@WW-34 definitely more than one way to do it! I like it from the back but everyone’s preferences are different

[@nicolerufo3770]

This makes no sense?? The thread is not secured to the needle???

[@zecuse]

It doesn't need to be. As long as enough of it is pushed through the eye, it can't slip out when both sides of the eye go through. Just don't pull and arms length away after you pass the needle though before grabbing it by its eye.

[@nicolerufo3770]

@@zecuse ok I'll practice more. Feels so very odd?? But I will persist!

[@alliepaigeart]

You got this!!
