Pirateheart100, I forwarded your comment to Julie and here is her response:

"If I have to stop and start a thread again I just tuck the tail under the stitching like I normally would. The loop method really only works for new threads".

Hope that helps!

I asked Julie about the yarn, she said "The yarn I was using for the demonstration was crewel embroidery yarn but for the cross stitching itself you would use regular floss.  I just used a large yarn on a large canvas so it could be easily seen".

Thank you so much, I was curious about that.

I have a questions regarding the way you start. It's a great idea for not having to hold a tail and cover it, but what happens when you have to stop and then move the color to another area, you can't make that loop again unless you seperate the thread and start over leaving you smaller and smaller pieces or is there another trick?
