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!!

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....

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.

I am glad it was useful for you :) thanks for watching

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?

Fantastic tutorial!! i have learned alot, you showed starts and finishes that i have never seen or tried.

💜💜💜

Great tips Nicole!! I will definitely be using them. Thank you!! Hugs

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

I've only just found this tutorial- thank you I have learned so much. I will certainly be practising these stitches.

Thank you very good explanation❤

This is genius!

Great Tips and Tricks Nicole,Fabulous 👏Thankyou for sharing 👍🇳🇿🪡

I love this!

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❤️🇬🇧

Best tutorial I’ve seen. Crystal clear! Thx so much!

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

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.

This video has just changed my life! 🥲

glad I was able to help...thank you for watching :) I appreciate your time :) have a wonderful day :)

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 KZreads.

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. 🥰🥰🥰

This was the video I was looking for. Excellent explanation. Thank-you so much for posting this…I have subscribed to your channel 😊.

I really enjoyed learning these tips. Thank you for creating this tutoria❤l.

Thank you for showing this 😍😍👍👍

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

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!!

Great teacher method for me

Great video, thank you 😊

Oh y goodness, what amazing tips you have given me. Thank you!

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 :)

Cool, thanks

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

I learned a lot thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thank you very helpful😊

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?

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 :)

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 😊

How about with linen
