Many thanks. I have tried to find a way to end the thread without having to flip the work over. This is especially useful when you are stitching on a frame clamped on a stand.

I usually run the finished thread at the back to where I will stitch next to cover it later but I sometimes miss it. Running it on the front will certainly help but will it show on 14ct aida with 2 strands?

I jusst use an away waste knot and tail from the front, and position it so that the next few stitches will go over it. That way after a while the tails are stitched over and I can just trim the waste knot from the front. No need to flip the work!

Thanks so much for sharing this little secret. It definitely has its uses in a variety of projects. As others have stated that certainly may be the key to a perfect back.

Some day I would like to have the perfect back.:loveliness:

I have seen that technique too... But I've always been curious, wouldn't that make the front bumpier/bulkier?

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to do it in my current project. When I use a frame, it's too troublesome to flip and secure at the back.

I think you would have to be careful with this method but thanks for sharing!
