Tying a knot at the end of your sewing thread is a simple way to secure your stitches. Here's how to do it:

  • Hold the thread: Hold the thread with your dominant thumb.

  • Wrap the thread: Wrap the thread around your thumb three times in a counterclockwise direction.

  • Catch the wraps: Move your thumb up slightly to secure the thread wraps you just created.

  • Pull through: Pull the needle through the loops to form a knot.
