how do you knot your thread on the end?

[cyberseams]

Hello - I recently uploaded a video demonstrating how to tie off your thread.

Video. Doesn't. Work.

[cyberseams]

Hmm... It has been working for me - please try again!

Now it does. I'm at a different pc. It was the only one that wouldn't play.

One tip: I can sew pretty well by hand and by machine, but if this is a beginner's video, it would be useful to show the folding and pinning of the fabric and making the nod, because to some men, er, people this is not self-explanatory ;)

Finishing off pillows, or sewing on straps onto a tote bag is what I mainly use it for, its really versatile once you get the hang of it

O.M.G. Thank you!

I was having trouble with this stitch, didn't help that a different video showed me differently but this looks so much easier and made perfect sense. xD
