Beginning and Ending Threads: Photo Tutorials on Common Methods
As I mentioned in my photo tutorial on using a waste knot, the most common question I receive via e-mail is "how do I begin (or end) my thread withough using a knot?" To answer that question, I've worked up several photo tutorials.
I'll be listing all these photo tutorials here so that they're easy to locate. I'll have a permanent link to them on the side bar under "Editor's Floss," in a new category that will be called "Tips and Tricks for Hand Embroidery," where you find all such posts on embroidery tips and tricks indexed.
I hope you find this list of photo tutorials on beginning and ending threads helpful!

Hi Mary, thank you for the photo tutorial on waste knots and the beginning and ending threads. Sure makes the work look neater onthe back.
Hi Mary,
Thank you so much! That's so useful, and something I've been curious how to do. (Just wondering, is my computer playing up or is the part on endings still to come? I get links to the first three, Waste Knot, Waste Away Knot and Anchor Stiches on a Line ,but not the others listed.) Anyway, thank you again for your amazing work here!
Best wishes!
