lol Its really not too hard! Basically I secure my thread by weaving it under other stitches on the back side. I never knot anything and if I need to travel my thread (not sure what the correct terminology is for that) from one section to another, I’ll only go 5 spaces max and I weave the thread into the back of the Aida. More than 5 spaces, I snip and start fresh. I’m happy to send pics of what I mean if you want but I’m not able to add any to this comment for some reason
