I do appreciate all this help and I am keen on learning and approving my work.
Thanks again.
Great tip, i am doing it too now:):):)
thats how I have always done it
The only problem for me stitching with the loop method is that you can feel with your fingers that one way thread is smooth and the other way not so smooth and with the loop method you use the smooth and not so smooth together.
Neat technique. Thank you for the tip.
How interesting, I need to try this! :) Thank you for the tip!
This is the method Ive always used.I hate weaving in ends to begin with and I think it makes my work much cleaner looking.
The only problem is when you are using two different colours for a blended look then you cant use the loop technique.
I do this all the time when two strands are needed.It saves on having a waste knot and a length of floss to weave in.I think its called a loop start.Very useful!!
One floss saving technique Ive found is when stitching large areas of the same colour I go along one row doing half crosses then return finishing the crosses.You develop a technique that means you dont change direction all the time and it looks neater on the reverse.

Yes.Very true.In those instances I like to hold my tail and stitch over it in the back...never got use to using a waste knot. :Q
