I saw this tip on Nordic Needle's newsletter and thought someone here might find it useful:
- Dear Roz, While reading your newsletter this morning (I always leave it until the last email as a special treat), I thought about my way of eliminating some of the knots and weaving in threads on the back of my cross stitch work when using 2 strands of floss. I cut a double length of floss, weave the two cut ends under the finished work and thread the center loop into the needle. When I stitch to the end of this floss, I loop the next double long strand through that first loop and proceed to stitch to the cut ends and weave them in at the end. This way I only have to weave in ends once every two lengths of thread. Once in awhile the loops must be manipulated so they don't show on the front, but this is not a major problem. Ann, Edina, MN
