To tie a hand thread, you can use the pinch-and-slide method, creating a secure knot for sewing.
Pinch-and-Slide Method for Knotting a Thread
The pinch-and-slide method is a simple way to create a knot in your thread for hand sewing. The method is described in the video, "How to Tie a Knot in Thread for Hand Sewing | THREE different ways!"
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Position the thread: Hold the end of the thread between your thumb and forefinger.
- Pinch: Pinch the thread firmly between your thumb and forefinger, creating a loop of thread.
- Slide: With your thumb and forefinger still pinching the thread, start to slide your pinching fingers down the thread, towards the end. The video describes this motion as "slide side side." This action will cause the thread to loop around on itself.
- Secure the knot: As you slide down, the loop will tighten and form a knot. You'll end up with a small, secure knot at the end of the thread.
Here is the reference to the video explaining the knot:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Pinch-and-Slide | Pinch the thread, slide the pinched fingers down the thread to create a knot. |
This method is effective and creates a knot that is less likely to come undone when sewing. The video assures, "it's a good size knot, it's not going to go anywhere."
