SBQ and chainmaille


How do you secure a thread when you begin a new one? Specifically do you or have you ever useds a waste knot?

Yes I have used wasted knots, when I have I loop the new stitch through the existing knot. Usually I don't see the point(call me lazy) when using two strand I use a double eye needle looping the first through the second.
Also here is one of my chainmaille creations, it is a 4in 1 choker with copper and topaz. My husband and I make medieval jewelry and armor, if anyone is interested. On a stitching note have already finished my two december ornaments, pics to follow.
