The easiest way to start Cross Stitching is the Loop Start. It's simple and efficient and Jamie "Mr X Stitch" Chalmers is here to show you how!
It's worth noting that the Loop Technique isn't suitable for all cross stitching - if you're using variegated threads, folding the thread to create the loop will mix the colours up - but if you're using a single colour, then this is the simplest technique, and it'll keep your back nice and neat too!
