My mind is absolutely blown. I learned the loop start YEARS after I started stitching and thought that I had learned the most awesome technique. However, I started a big project a little over a year ago where about 90% of the stitches are with blended threads... I've watched countless videos and NOT A SINGLE one has shown either the loop finish or the single thread loop start. THANK YOU for sharing your techniques!

I've been stitching for over 40 years, you learn your basic skillset as a beginner and then you get to stitching. Then years go by and you discover youtube tutorials and you think "eh, I know what I'm doing" but you decide to see what's out there. And the tricks and shortcuts just blow your mind. I wish I had found these decades ago, thank you! Never stop learning, folks! I had figured out the basic loop start when you're working two same-color strands but never learned the loop finish. And the fact that you include single strand and blended---THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! I work on a stand and flipping over my work was the biggest pain, so many unnecessary movements. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

You seem to know my life very well! When I learned recently about the loop start, it completely blew my mind!

I was today years old when I discovered how to loop start and pin stitch 😂 how did I not know this is a thing!?

Decades I’ve been x stitching and never heard of this either.

I have been stitching for over 20 years, and never thought of how to do a loop finish!! Thank you!

Stitching for 53 years never knew about loop finish. Will be making back of projects so much neater. Thank you for sharing!!! 💜

OK - I am sitting here with my chin on the floor!! This is going to make my cross stitching life SO MUCH EASIER!! Thank You!!

I’ve been using the loop start for years, but hadn’t even heard of the loop finish! I shall definitely be using this in future!

I’ve been cross stitching for almost 40 years, just learned the loop start about 4 years ago. Total game changer. Can’t wait to see the loop finish.

Who would have thought I would learn something new after 50+ years of stitching 😱. I had never heard of a loop finish. Thanks for teaching me something new.

Very informative, thank you so much

I have been cross stitching for 40 years; wish I had known about this long ago! Won’t go back to the old way! Makes my project go so much faster. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thanks so much. I knew the loop start and the loop finish, which means that I never have to waste time turning my work over. Great! But I understood that you couldn’t use the loop start with one thread, and you blew that out of the water!! What a simple method!! I have never used an uneven thread count, but I am now prepared!! Genious!!

That was amazing. I am a visual learner. That was fantastic. Thank you thank you

These techniques are truly amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I can’t wait to try this all out, it will make my stitching even more enjoyable wow.

Thank you so much for showing the loop method. I'm starting cross stitch again after about 30 years and I haven't heard of this before. IT's going to be a game changer. Thank you!

This was a great video. I’ve learned wonderful ideas that will help me from having a messy back and now not flipping over my work

You just blew my mind with the loop finish!!! Thank you so much!!!

Wow, learning to end w the loop method is something I’m going to try. Thank you for sharing. Happy holidays

I'm going to give this a try. I'm 32 and have been cross sourcing since I was 8. My ex stepmom taught me but she taught me to run my thread behind the stitching on the back which not only makes the piece bulky, but it has a tendency to bunch the fabric or loosen stitches. Definitely worth it if it means cleaner work.

Thank you for sharing. I love your start/stop method doing everything from the top. You have helped make me a happier stitcher. 😊

Love this loop style. I’ve been cross stitching for about 40 years and stopped when I got cancer in my 40’s and just recently picked up again. All these tips have shortened my time and I’m able to accomplish a lot more. Thank you and keep up the good work and thanks for starting the tutorial right away.

This is a game changer for me- thank you for making this video!!

Wow!!! Game. Changer. I had never heard of finishing with a loop! Thanks, Natalie!

I am a beginner and was looking for some way to keep my project less bulky. Love this method. Thank you for making this video. Please keep sharing your tips.

Welcome to flosstube Natalie. That method was a game changer, I’ve never done the starts and finishes like that but I will be now xxx

Great video. My work looks so much neater without all those waste threads hanging! Thanks so much!

This is amazing(and so is your stitching). Thank you ever so much for sharing this. I canNOT wait to use this on my extensive, large pieces.

Thank you so much. Like your other fans said, no one else has shown a loop finish! Brilliant. I will be using both with pin stitch finish on my new piece. So neat. What else can you share with us? 😊

Brilliant video. Thank you for such a clear explanation. I will definitely use this method to help conserve thread but also help keep the back tidy. Thanks again

Been stitching for 30ish years and this is the first I've seen this, so pretty to start and finish

This was a great tutorial. I hope you record more of your stitching knowledge and share your work with us.

Thank you!! Looking forward to your WIP parade. :) Happy stitching

Loop finish?! I’m so happy! Thank you!

This loop finish is amazing. I have a full coverage piece I’ve put off for years because the back is a mess with all the confetti. You’ve inspired me to pick it up again!

This is amazeballs! 😄 First year of stitching and Ive used the flip the work and bury thread under a couple of stitches - but haven't liked that procedure. Especially if you have the work on a stand! Brilliant! 😊

This is amazing! I've used the loop start for ages (though I would do it on the back - love the idea of being able to do it on the front).. but the loop ending.. what a revelation! Thanks so much!

This video is fantastic I can now do a loop finish

Love love love this! I have started using variegated floss so no loop and some single ply threads but when I heard about loop finish for the first time yours was the first I came to. I have watched three times in two days already! I have also cross stitched and embroidered since the seventies!, I only heard traffic noise once and then only because I was listening for it the third watch. It does not bother me at all like pet and people noises

Brilliant! Thank you. I knew the start but not the loop finish. x
