Joining thread in sewing involves securing the thread, typically at the beginning or end of a seam. Based on the provided reference, the focus is on how to knot your thread, a simple technique for securing it.
Here’s how to tie a knot in your thread, according to the YouTube video:
- Place your thread over the top of your needle.
- Pinch the thread and needle together.
- Wrap the thread around the needle once, and then again.
- Pull the needle out gently, sliding the wraps down to the very end of the thread. This creates a knot.
This technique is used to secure the thread when hand sewing, preventing it from pulling through the fabric.
