Tutorial: Thread-Under Anchor
Anchoring at the Beginning or End of Stitching
Here's how to do it.

1. When you have finished a set of stitches, the back will look something like this.

2. Run the needle under a few adjacent stitches, then cut off the extra floss. (You are not restricted to the stitches you just completed.) This is the simple form of this anchor.

3. For extra security, make a loop partway through the row of stitches. This is particularly helpful when you are using this anchor at the beginning of stitching. Run the floss under two or three stitches, then bring the needle out.

4. Bring the needle around the stitch where you exited the row of stitches, then run it under a few more stitches.
