this is very helpful, but i don't get what to do with the tail of my work or the end piece of string? can someone please comment on my comment and tell me, it would be very helpful! Thanks ;)

Don't cut it off. First you should weave the end into your work. I bet there's a video of how to do that. (If you were to cut it off right there without weaving it, you'll be able to see that end and it is more likely to come loose. Hope that helps.
