Sometimes craftswomen, especially when working with thin fabric, need a neat loop for fastening. This applies to those styles where the edges of the product are connected end-to-end. This element is also suitable for connecting parts in lace and knitted clothes.
An air loop made of threads will best cope with this role. It can be done with two tools: a sewing needle or a craft hook.
Reference! You should not equip this part in places of strong tension, since this variation cannot withstand heavy loads.
How to make an air loop with a needle
The best way to complete this detail is to use matching thread and a sewing needle.
Most often, this element is used as a pair to a hook or button. Her dimensions should not greatly exceed the diameter of the fastener. For example, for a button this figure should be greater by just a couple of millimeters.
There are two main options for the needle method:
- Simple;
- Twisted loop.
The first step is to mark the location of the fastener.To do this, use tailor's chalk or a small soap.
The simplest method is to intertwine two bundles of threads together in a spiral and then sew them to the fabric.
Now let’s look at the execution of the remaining types in detail.
How to make a simple loop
When using the simple option it turns out crochet chain.
- To begin, fix the tip of the thread (in several folds) to the fabric with several transverse stitches.
- Then we make another stitch, but we do not pull the fiber completely through the material. A small loop forms on the surface.
- We pull the thread going to the needle through the left area.
- Repeat this action a sufficient number of times until a “pigtail” of the required length is formed.
- We stretch a needle and thread into the last loop for fixation and sew the resulting element to the fabric at the second mark.
How to make a twist clasp
With the second method a technique similar to tatting and macrame is used. Fix the thread in the same way as for the first variation, and then perform the following steps.
- Make several stitches between the marks so that a tight arc of the desired size is formed.
- Then wrap the workpiece using the method shown in the diagram.
- Having formed an arc of the required size, fasten the thread from the wrong side.
Attention! Make the turns quite tightly, but do not overdo it.
How to make a chain loop with crochet
There are also two options for making a hook fastener.
- Air chain;
- Single crochets.
The initial stage looks the same as when working with a needle.
For the first method, after fixing, you need to perform a chain in. P.the desired size and secure it to the fabric.
The second option involves additional tying of the chain next to the RLS. This method is especially suitable for making fasteners on knitted fabric.
This variation is the strongest of all the elements presented. This part can also be made separately and sewn on with a needle.
