Floss Saving Technique

I like that trick too - but I have heard that some stitchers (not me) like the fibres in the floss to go in the same direction and therefore never fold the floss back on itself.  Seems that some stitchers are very particular!  But I can't really notice the difference, myself.

I have not been able to tell the difference on this aspect either. In fact, I was very confused when someone brought up this point as an argument against this technique. Glad I am not the only one! :)  Post time 2013-5-24 23:32

Yes... I use my floss the same way...

I had a feeling this is a widely-used technique, but I wanted to offer it up in case there are some people who are not familiar with this method. So happy it works for you too! :)  Post time 2013-5-26 03:29

You are so right when stitching over two threads, and the back is very neat.  However, I got myself into a mess when stitching on linen over one thread (e.g., Heaven and Earth designs), with the floss slipping behind the threads.  So completing one full cross at a time became necessary.
