When sewing by hand, sometimes it becomes necessary to connect parts with a hidden seam, baste them, or perform decorative finishing. In this case, it is difficult to fasten the thread without a knot. Read on for more ways to tie a knot.
How to quickly tie a knot on a thread and a needle?
To prevent the seam from coming apart, it is important to tie the knot correctly. This is especially important if the seam is permanent or the product will need to be tried on multiple times.
Manually
This type of knot has another name - rolled. To tie it by hand, you need to wrap a thread loop around your index finger. Holding it with your thumb to your index finger, twist the loop around its axis (roll it up) and remove it from your finger. Taking one hand by the tip of the thread, which is closer to the needle, and with the other, grab the thread from the loop, you need to pull them in different directions. This action will tighten the loop into a knot. If the thread does not tie, then the twisting was insufficient, it is recommended to repeat the process by tightening a new knot over the first one.
Using a threader
To begin, you need to thread the threader through the eye of the needle. When the wire takes its original shape again, insert a thread into it. Pull its end to the other side so that it hangs down. Next, the threader is removed. Wrap the long end of the thread around the needle three times. The resulting loops need to be moved to the eye of the needle, lowered onto the thread, and moved to the end. Tighten the loops to form a knot.
How to tie a knot in a thread after sewing?
A knot at the end of sewing is necessary so that the seam does not come apart in the future and lasts longer.
Simple fastening knot
This is perhaps the most common method of securing a seam. It is enough to make a loop at the end of the thread, thread the second end into it, and tighten. Ready!
Backstitches
A double backstitch will make the seam straighter and stronger than having a knot. To do this, insert the needle into the fabric and pull the thread out, but not all the way. Backstitch and bring the needle out where it first came out. The action must be repeated, and you can sew further. In the same way, securing stitches are made at the end of the seam.
Adviсe
- If you can’t cope with tying knots, then try to set fire to the failed knot, it will melt and become stronger.
- Remember how you tie your shoelaces with a double knot. To do this, make the first stitch without pulling out the entire thread. Pass the needle through this protruding tail.
The listed knot options are the most commonly used in practice. Use them in your creativity, and the seams you make will last a long time.
