Quick question about blackwork
by Nicole

Hello thank you in advance for taking the time to help answer my question. I'm a cross stitcher and am trying to do blackwork now,
I have a wonderful pattern but I dont know how to start it. I'm used to tucking the thread under others to lock it in place but dont see how that will work with the back stitching (I'm going to use the Holbein stitch).
So do I start and end the stitches with a knot? Or is there another way that I dont know about? Again, thank you for your advice.
