Colonial Knot vs French Knot

[@helenai13]

However little the difference is, the colonial knot does sit more neatly. Thank you for this great tip and informative tutorial!

You’re welcome!! I totally agree, I don’t really use them that much but would definitely like to utilize them more in future work 😊

@@crewelghoul I may use them as of now, especially if there aren’t many and are away from each other.

Very helpful demonstration and explanation. Thanks!

Very helpful, thanks! I do not love my French knots. Colonial look so much nicer, but also more intimidating!

This is a good explanation. Thank you 🌹

Is there any reason to use one stitch over the other? Or is it simply a matter of preference? I have a pattern that calls for colonial knots but I'm much more practiced in French knots.

[@crewelghoul]

I find it really hard to see the difference between the two. Colonial knots will set a little more evenly and neatly on the fabric but I’m sure you could just use French knots! They are normally my go to.

It looks like you are using an embroidery needle instead of a milliners needle which is why you had to yank the thread. Milliner’s needles are the same diameter along the length of the shaft. They are magic for French knots and bullion stitch.

Thanks for the recommendation! I keep meaning to get them, I’ll definitely try them out. ☺️
