How I Start and End Thread - Cross Stitch

How I start thread:
1. Loop Start
This is the best way to start thread for me.
2. Start with pin stitch
I start this way when my thread can't do loop start.
I put needle 2 stitches away from where I start, to make sure that have enough length not to over pull. Then do pin stitch once to secure thread.

How I end thread:
1. Pin Stitch
2. Hide thread under stitches on front side
I end thread this way when I can't find a space to do pin stitch.
I learned this method from videos of a Russian stitcher (Юлия Неминская). It's a brilliant way to end thread.
3. End thread on back side
If there's no space to do pin stitch or no stitch to hide thread, this method is the last choice.
