There are a number of ways to start your thread when doing cross stitch or hand embroidery, but my all-time favorite is the knotless loop start method. Not only is it quick and easy, but it helps keep the back of your work neat and tidy. While it is my go-to method, there is one caveat.

Cross stitch is often done with two strands -- for example, when you are stitching on 14-count Aida or over two on 28-count linen -- so the loop start method works in a lot of cases. It can also be used when doing hand embroidery with a full 6 strands of floss. Here's how to do the method when you're stitching
