Thank you so much! I'm about to start a large project of 1 strand on 25ct and this is a gamechanger for sure! You did an excellent job of explaining this and showing how it's done!
Thanks for sharing! I am working on a sampler that involves a 1-strand half-stitch background and was looking for a better way to start my thread. This is perfect!
1:46 That flip looks familiar. It's a Munter hitch! I take it you could capture the end under the thread on the back side to help keep it in place as well.
Hi Milesy, thank you for this. It looks easy so I am going to have a go at it as I am currently working on a piece using single thread over 2 stitches on 28 count linen.
Oh my gosh thank you so much I always use the loop method but didnt until now know how to do with 1 strand on my HAED projects on such high counts thank you so much, I learn so much from your videos keep up the great work!!!
I’m trying to use this with blackwork, mostly straight backstitching, no cross stitches. I can’t seem to get it secure using a straight stitch over one. Any suggestions?
WOW!!! Congratulations for cracking it and thank you so much for posting & sharing. Perseverance and a genius, ur awesome!!! P.S. Ur stretcher bar videos helped me too, thank u :)). Subscribed!!!
I do this, however, my loop is at the back. The problem I encountered with this method is that the thread become uneven in length as you go along with your xstitch but I don't mind at all.
That comes from the thread getting twisted on itself. Make sure to untwist the thread every few stitches, and it’ll stay even through the entire thing.
MadXStitcher thanks. I will check on that but I don't it is twisted. When I loops at the back, it leaves a loose of the loop. Maybe I need to tighten up more.

Wow, this is an amazing technique! This will make stitching 1x1 so much easier, and my back so much less bulky! Love it, thank you!
Omg this has just saved my life. I’m using single strand on 25 count and the back is looking awful. Thank you so much.

It's such a life changer. It's a little backwards from a typical loop start, but once you get the hang of it, it makes everything so much nicer!
I just got this link from reddit r/crossstitch Great help. Well done. Thank you.
Very helpful. Can you show how this would work doing a straight line of blackwork where there is no stitching close by to anchor?
Oh my gosh thank you so much I always use the loop method but didnt until now know how to do with 1 strand on my HAED projects on such high counts thank you so much, I learn so much from your videos keep up the great work!!!
Seriously, it's such a game changer! I almost never have to use it, but I'm glad it's there for when I need it

How about a loop start with two different colors? Many patterns today ask that two different color strands be used in the pattern. Thanks
So helpful! Thank you !!!!
