Tape First Stitch on Back

Start stitching. To begin, pull the first stitch of floss through to the front leaving an inch on the back of the layout. Turn your page over and use a small piece of acid-free tape to hold the tail end of the floss to the back of the layout. You want to avoid knots as they will create lumps on your page.
