Starla ,
I didn`t understand if you speak about a Woven cloth or a knitted/
crocheted cloth [where finishing a thread is also called weaving
in]..
If you speak about a real weave [on loom or frame]. You should
start a new thread always at the end [=3Dedge] of the new row, leave
7-10 cm hanging, beat weft in , throw in next thread, now that you
returned to starting edge , take the `tail` you left and weave it in
with the next beat , if the thread is very thick you can thin it
gradually.
If you speak about knitting or crochet , When putting in a new thread
Knit /crochet with both End of former thread and Start of new threads
over at least 5 stitches ,,, than when you finnish the work you might
slip any left over in any direction ...
Ps if you work with synthetics it might be a bit more slipy
