Unless I am using overdyed threads, I always use the loop method to start.

If it is an even number of strands, I always start this way. I am pretty particular about my backs, especially in the beginning, and try to keep them neat. Towards the end, lol, I'm usually sloppier.

Unless it's stitching with overdyeds or single (or odd numbers of ) strands, always... Even on needlepoint if I can get away with it! Not so much to avoid messy backs (never manage to keep my backs...

as long as there are an even number of flos and they aren't overdyes the that is my perfered method of starting.

I have to agree with everyone else. I usually use a loop stitch to start my thread as long as it's not over-dyed or if I'm stitching over 1 thread. I do a lot of Hardanger so I don't use the loop...

Okay next question..............is the loop started on the back or the front? I watched a 'how to' video of this technique (in a different language) and the way it looks they started it on the front....

I hold the loop on the back. I can't tell the difference from the front of the "first/looped" stitch and any other stitch.

Yes the loop is on the back for me. And I sometimes even do a loopstart with overdyeds if I want a more subtle effect.
