I am currently working on a long term project that I started May of 2025. It is One Piece Stamped Cross Stitch, 11ct that I purchased from Aliexpress. So I am sharing my method of how I start and end my stitch using three-thread strand.

And here it is. My selfish sew for the year. When this was released in August, I knew I had to get the pattern.
