That buried waste knot start is a game-changer. I've often struggled with clean starts for single threads, as I use loop starts for two-thread applications.
An eyeopener! I am still a beginner with crossstitching and I try to work as neat, as possible. But I work on a picture that includes lots of color changes and confetti stitches. And even though I work well-considered and try not to create a chaos at the backside I struggle with all the threads there. plus: I lose a lot of time by permanentaly turning the loop from back to front. Now I got myself a tapestry loop and it costs even more time to turn and secure threads at the backside. I searched a lot for good solution for single stitches. This video here is the first ever, that shows a really clean and nice method. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
So pleased your channel popped up. This was so helpful, thanks so much! Has made such a difference to my stitching not having to flip everything over. New subscriber too! Greetings from the UK❤️🇬🇧
There is also a loop start you can use for variegateds/overdyeds called one strand loop start......there are a couple youtube tutorials showing how....
Oh my gosh!!! I am SO enlightened!!! Thank you so much for these tips and excellent, excellent, excellent, tips & demonstration!!! Like others have mentioned, I've been cross stitching for many years and I absolutely am so grateful and amazed at these techniques. I am putting them to use, immediately 🎉❤ 💯. I'm even considering taking out every stitch and starting over on my current project, even though I'm over halfway done on a full coverage project. I'm absolutely going to try it out on it. I think your stitching is beautiful, too! ❤
Absolutely awesome! I wish I had seen this video before I started my current project!! It looks really messy on the underside. It would have looked SO MUCH neater and I would have been SO MUCH HAPPIER with the project all around. I’m going to try doing this from this point on. Thank you very much for sharing this video!!
Cool. I’ve been using the loop start for years but the knot ending method is brilliant. Thanks once again. I always learn something new from you every time I watch one of your RUclipss.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, your time is appreciated and I look forward to seeing you on the channel again :) have a lovely day and till next time happy crafting :)
Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this video! It’s brilliant 🤩!!! By the three minute mark, you identified why my waste knot wasn’t catching the floss. I was coming up in a hole rather than the middle. And, you have convinced me that it’s time to put on my big girl panties and try the pin stitch. I’ve been avoiding it because as an Aida stitcher, it seemed too difficult but it will definitely be extremely useful in many circumstances. 🥰🥰🥰
2:00 loop method from top 3:08 buried waist knot 6:06 pin stitch 10:14 switch to new color in a row with covering end of previous and start of new color
That is so awesome. I already do the loop start but finish off traditionally by tucking under at the back. I am doing my first HEAD and the back is getting really lumpy. This will definitely make a difference to my piece. Thanks so much.
Hmm interesting that you start your fancy floss with a waste knot why do you do that vs a loop start, I know it's likely to be to do with the way the colours are thru the over dying but rather curious as I'm using over dyeds on a project and I'd like to know before I get to far lol thanks in advance 😍 I do stitch individual crosses just curious about the starting
Great vid! though the camera looked like it was having a hard time to focus so close up lol. I was going to ask if it makes a difference if you cross stitch one at a time (like you were in the vid) or if you're doing a row of half cross one way and then come back to complete each cross. How would you finish them off without flipping it over?
I used a lot of over dyed threads and ri get a really good shading l use the one cross at a time method...when using regular dmc, cosmo, anchor etc l.will do the first part of the cross then travel back and do the the top leg...and in son.project l will do both methods 😊
Fabulous video! Great instruction! I learned a lot including discovering what evenweave looks like😀 Thank you💕
THANK YOU for not putting music in the background. I can actually hear your voice and the instructions. Brava!
You are some sort of wizard or magician. I’ve been stitching since 1990 and I’ve never thought of this. Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing this. I just started working with a lap frame and these techniques will come in very handy 🙂
Thank you! Great information
Excellent! Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!
Do you have methods for even weave, 25 ct, one over one? What if you have a stitch that is all by itself, nothing around it on one over one?
Oh y goodness, what amazing tips you have given me. Thank you!
Great teacher method for me
Thank you very good explanation❤
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for showing this 😍😍👍👍

Great tips. I’ll have to give these a try. Why did you get the flat scissors from?
glad you like the video, I am not sure they were a gift from a friend, thank you for watching :)
I learned a lot thanks for sharing your knowledge

Yeah, the camera was having a very hard time...to answer your question, I would finish with a pin stitch would be my advice...I hope this helps :)
