Tying a knot at the end of your thread when hand sewing secures your stitches and prevents them from unraveling. Here's how to do it:
- Thread the Needle: Begin by threading your needle and knotting the other end (the starting knot) as shown below.
- Creating the knot: Wrap the thread around your index finger, then roll the thread off your finger with your thumb, forming a loop near the end of the thread.
- Pull it tight: Pull the needle through the loop you've created, drawing the knot tight against the fabric, as shown below.
- Trim the excess: Snip off any excess thread close to the knot.
According to the Youtube video "Learn to tie a knot in your thread - the easy way! #sew #sewing...", you can pull the thread through once, and tug on it slightly to secure it for all your sewing needs.
