[Mixonne]

Oh my. I had no idea about this! Completely changed my life. Well, almost! :p

Also, it's 1 a.m. and I'm researching the most effient way to tie a knot. I feel like such a nerd...

[princessrocker65]

omgg thank you soooo much!!

[witerbaby03]

Finnaly a vidio not confusing at all!!!!

[NervousRex77]

Wonderful! I have been shown different ways to make a large knot and I never get the hang of it. The lady in this video made it easy and the close up really helped. Wish all vids were this easy to follow. Thanks and hope you make more!

[jenvaher]

OMG You are a lifesaver! I'm sewing buttons on a coat - this helps. Now I just need to find out how to tie off on my button once it's sewn. Thank you.

[naarixsenpai]

[AveryDanger]

VOLUME. jesus, watch the video before you post

[FootSoldier66]

im confused. is there volume?

[debilee4]

@FootSoldier66 Yes, there is definitely sound with the video, if that is what you're asking. Hope you're able to hear it and learn the technique.

[FootSoldier66]

@debilee4 i never could really hear anything on the laptop. it's ok tho, just the visual was enough. thanks for this video. i struggled for hours trying to figure out how on earth to do the know right and couldn't get it... i watched this video and did it in 4 seconds!

[MrDrogosan]

OMG I did it! Like the previous poster, I'm also a guy and was about to give up till I saw this vid . :)

[JediKnife]

Thanks a lot for this information- I am a man and need all the sewing help (and luck too) for the buttons that inevitably come off my cargo shorts, etc.

[ooSURGEoo]

Wow so simple, now I can finally fix my ripped pants! Lol, thank you!

[stonegateaccent]

I'm just learning to sew and had no idea how to knot a needle. Thank you for such a great explanation and a good visual presentation. This was a lifesaver for me.

[TheIamamama]

Thanks I started to do a lot of sewing, It really works! You are awesome!

[blahhduhhx3]

Thank you!

[soonfully]

I have heard of this but none in all my classes ever showed me how to do this ty soo much

[hayleybritt]

Yay! I finally know the proper way to tie a knot at the end of my thread! Thanks!

[OfeliaChileTan]

I've never been able to tie knots properly and they always failed. Since I'm going to be making a doll for my friend for Christmas this is going to be very helpful!

[battleatbosworth]

Awesome now I can fix my pants

[cbakerazle]

Finally a video that I could follow! Made it just fine with your guidance! Other videos skipped something or showed it in a way that I couldn't follow. Made a knot on the first try with your instructions!

[debilee4]

@cbakerazle Yay!  Glad I could help!

[debilee4]

Sorry, haven't been able to change it in the video, but the blog can now be found at tipsfromdeb.blogspot.com, or facebook.com/Tips.from.Debi.

[TheExPlOiTeDOne619]

Huge thumbs up from a 24 year old male that has ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what he is doing :D. I just did my first knot. Now on to sewing the button onto my shorts :). Thank you.

[debilee4]

@TheExPlOiTeDOne619 Awesome! Glad I could help! 

[mikepheels]

my sewing teacher in JR High showed us the worst way to tie a knot, you just blew her away!!! thank you!!

[debilee4]

@mikepheels You are welcome!

[kimscraftykorner]

Absolutely love this!!! This was too easy.

[debilee4]

@kimscraftykorner Glad it worked for you!

[vigilante258]

Thanks, this video is quite helpful. I don't sew alot, but I have a few uses that I've needed to do this, but couldn't cause I couldn't get a big enough knot. I would always just tie it like normal, and it always wound up super small, you could barely see the knot.

Thanks again.

[debilee4]

@vigilante258 You are most welcome!

[MrRhetorikill]

Ok soo... What do you do with the other end to keep it from falling off the needle, I am trying to sew a hole in my army uniform and this stuff is hard.

[debilee4]

@MrRhetorikill I'm not sure what you mean, but hopefully can help. The other end is threaded through the eye of the needle. When you're sewing, you keep your hand on the top part of the thread that is through the needle so it doesn't come out. Does that help? My youngest son is in the Army, so I'm happy to help however I can!

[lilyabello]

Sometimes the littlest things become the biggest challenges :) Love your video so much that you are my You Tube video of the day on my Sewing Resource Guide website. Thanks so much for sharing, and happy sewing! Lily Abello
