How to Start Hand Sewing Without a Knot

[@captainswing4487]

Nothing is obvious to an elderly male . This makes sense and it's obvious. Thanks.

[@rlwalker2]

... or a kind of a knot done a different way. I really like this approach. Clever and ends up secure and neat at the same time. Thanks.

This is the BEST and easiest video I found!

[@laylaspencer9511]

I despise mending things but refuse to throw something out that just needs a few stitches. This, YOU, oh you've saved my sanity! 😯❤️

[@pra_schleich]

This is amazing I always take at least 10 minutes knotting it so this is so usefull

[@mizzkittenttv]

Awesome tip...thank you!

[@robertandvanessawalker2681]

Thank you so much this was great!!!

[@maplelassuk]

Excellent! It does leave your thread doubled so you would need to take that into account too, when using more or less than 2 threads?

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Yes, true!

How do I do embroidery without doubling ththe thread? I've seen people do threadpainting with single thread and I want to try it too

[@ornelladay2041]

Hi, I have seen this before but haven't tried it out yet. What happens if you don't need to sew with the doubled thread, ie embroidery with 2 or 3 strands, don't want to become 4 or 6 - what happens with the extra thread? When I'm embroidering I start be just leaving a short tail (no knot) i ensure that it lies in the direction i am stitching and ensure that the first few stitches at the back go over the tail to enclose it.

[@maplelassuk]

Ornella Day I had the same query! Great for 2 threads but what about three etc? I do mine like you do! Elizabeth

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

This technique would only work if you are using two threads. I have seen your short tail technique used before and it would be a great solution if you are only using one thread.

[@cartoonygothica]

Cool, thanks.

That’s sooo coool!! TY

Better idea

[@honeybutter909]

Is this secure enough for a hand towel that will be washed very frequently

[@foxxtail06]

Now how do I end the stitch?

[@tryingtobarefruitinoldage9878]

Cool😉

[@Guinea54]

so it's normal to leave one end just not tied off at all dangling there? how weird.

[@dr.madhavidharankar2464]

But there will be a knot when the thread ends. Right?

[@sharmadapraveen]

👌👌😍😍❤

[@urmominabox87]

Except that is a knot, called a girth hitch/larks head/ cow hitch

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Thank you for the clarification 😊

[@sattaurnikki]

My hand sewing is terrible! I can never sew straight. 🙈🙈

[@Akira_ei]

Im here because I forgot how to start lol😂

[@EasySewing4Beginners]

Always happy to help. There’s definitely more than one way to start but this method gives you a strong start and a neat backing to your embroidery 👌🏼

[@xboxplzfixme]

Can this be done without doubling up the string in any way?
