How to Quilt>2 Loop Knot
A Two Loop Knot Will Secure your Hand Stitching -
|
The first step is to take a backstitch and create a small loop with your thread. Pull the needle and thread completely through the fabric, leaving a small loop. |
Poke the tip of your needle through the loop. I find that pointing the needle downward makes the next step easier. |
Twist the thread around the needle so you end up with 2 turns around the needle. |
Pull the needle completely through the loop. The thread you are pulling through should be wrapped two times by the thread in the loop. |
Pull the thread tight to secure the knot. |
Check out this article to see a different way to make the same knot.
Hope that helps.
Happy Quilting!
