Loop start and Loop finish for cross stitch 

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

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

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 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.

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!

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.

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

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 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!

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!

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!!

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

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

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.

Very informative, thank you so much

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Holy smokes this is incredible! Thank you thank you! I've just started my first *slightly* ambitious work with different colours in the same stitch and have been thinking there must be a better way! And there is! Genius. Thanks again 🎉🎉🎉

Why! Why? Why have I never ever seen this? This is so, so, so helpful.

Wow! I am a beginner and I am so glad I found you!

Wow! I can’t believe this is your first video! Your explanations were clear, concise and very easy to understand and follow! Great job. I’ll be looking for more from you!

This is great and the first time I've seen a loop finish. This method will so change my stitching!

Fabulous I figured the loop start at the front by chance 😆 but your loop ending is brilliant

Hello! Just wanted to tell you I learned at least 4 new techniques from this video, so helpful! Thanks so much! :)

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

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

It is great. I live for tips and tricks videos!!!!! Oh I adore that Aida....gonna have to get out some dye. I have been stitchign for 60 years and I have NEVER seen this... amazing. I do pin stitches, but not the loops to finish. amazing

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

Wow. Thanks so much for sharing. I am new to cross stitch and knew about loop start but not finish. Hi from the Gold Coast. Love your beautiful voice and manner, keep making videos.

Wow, very well done, dont worry bout what you cant change (noise), excellent tutorial. Thx and God bless you and your family

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? 😊

I like this loop finish!!!! It will help me a lot! Thank you!

Very very helpful! Im a total newbie and this totally makes more sense to me than what I was taught originally.

You are so adorable, Congrats on your first video!! X

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 was so helpful. Your fabric is beautiful and your manner so calming. Looking forward to more videos from you.

I knew how to loop start but not loop finish. OMG you have just changed my life with the loop finish. It drives me nuts turning my work and going underneath the stitches. Thank you so much, this is amazing!!!!!

This video is very very useful to me!!!! Thank you very much🌷

Hello from Wagga. Your video was excellent.

This was great demonstration, thank you.

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!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

You have completely BLOWN my mind with that loop finish. Thank you thank you thank you! That's gonna be a game changer for my stitching in the new year :-) Happy new year!

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

Love it thank you so much for sharing! Just started cross stitching and I will for sure pass this fabulous time saving, less hassle method on. ❤️

Hi Natalie! This was very informative. Thank you! I look forward to mor videos from you! 🇨🇦🙋‍♀️

Hi I am starting another Dimensions kit I am going to use the loop method! Thank you! For this video!

Thank you for the tips. It’s very useful for my next projects. ❤

Yay! Thank you so much for making this available! and welcome to FlossTube!

This is going to completely change my stitching experience! Thankyou so much! Im about to move to a scroll stand and it will be so lovely no to weave stitches through - way less bulkand such a time saver!

Amazing!! I only knew how to loop start with 2 strands. This is magic!! Thank you for the tutorial.

You are a genius !!!!!

Great video!! Audio was a bit too 👎🏻 then too 👍🏻... lol, but great content and great video quality! The ZOOM was perfect to see what you were doing! Thanks so much for sharing! You have a new subscriber!!

Really appreciate your sharing. Am just terrible in pinning.

This is a game changer! I'm doing. Piece with tons of confetti and the pin stitches are life savers. Question though, how do they hold up when washed? I've never washed my pieces before but I split juice on this one so I have to
