Instead 2 separate threads stitching over them to hold in place, use 1 Long thread (double it & thread the loose ends into needle) up from the back, down from the front & catch the "loop" to start

I do this too, saves a lot of time to do it from the front! I rarely turn my work over now, I just end my thread by coming up the fabric 10 stitches to the side and knotting it on the front. Since I do mostly full coverage pieces, I know that itll get secured by my other stitches.
A loop start is 1 big strand put together so you have a loop. Put the Needle in and have the loop out above and put your Needle trough the loop so its tightend and you can go further with your cross sticthing sorry for the english mayby you should look it up on YouTube.
