Here are my top two scenarios: ☝️ When backstitching with one strand, ESPECIALLY when I'm doing text in the middle of a design with no cross stitches nearby to bury the thread ✌️ When stitching with three strands on 14 count, again usually when I don't have nearby stitches to easily bury the thread When I first learned this I thought, "there's no way this will actually stay secure, my thread will just be loose on the back," but it really does lock down!🔒 I've pulled and tugged and closely visually inspected many times just to be sure 😂 Have you done this before? Will you try it now? . . . . .
