Beginning and Ending Threads

BeStitched's Alice Hall has an online tutorial on beginning and ending threads on the shop blog.  This link is to Part One, which covers basketweave stitch.

The next part is about using pin tucks and bargello tucks for starting/ending other stitches.  Sometimes it makes sense to use different techniques for starting and ending your threads if you are doing something other than tent stitches.
