How do you start a cross stitch project using the pin stitch method?

To start a cross stitch project using the pin stitch method, first thread your needle with a single strand of embroidery floss. Then, bring the needle up from the back of the fabric at the starting point of your design. Next, make a small stitch on the front of the fabric and secure it with a pin. Finally, continue stitching your design as usual, making sure to cover the pin stitch with your cross stitches.
