This video tutorial explains how to perfectly secure a thread without using a knot when cross-stitching. To start stitching without a knot, simply leave a short tail of your working thread on the front side (right side) of the fabric while making your first stitch.
After that, continue your row of crosses, making sure that each new stitch crosses over and traps the loose tail, securing it firmly in place. By following these exact same steps, you can also secure the end of your thread on the back side (wrong side) of the canvas.
With this simple and clever technique, you can easily start your cross-stitch project without leaving any bulky knots. As you can see, it is incredibly easy! Now you can always use this knotless thread-securing method for a neat, professional finish in all your needlework projects.
