How to Thread a Needle and Tie it Off for Embroidery

[@SuperAllySaurus]

I bought a little kit on a whim, and I was wondering why the design looked so thicc it's because I was threading my needle like I was going to sew something. Everything makes sense now. Thank you so much! You're awesome!!!!

[@claran3616]

I was doing the same thing! Until I saw my friend doing it and realized I should look it up.

[@lilymayer5444]

This was great, couldn’t find a video that explains why/how you thread it and leave the tail! Everyone seems to skip that part and I didn’t understand why there was a tail in all the videos I’ve seen!!

[@ivoryAlpaca]

Hey, please keep making videos like this. These are really helpful for ppl like me who are beginners

[@aubrienader6049]

I actually thought it was like sewing and you always knotted the ends so I would end up using 12 when it called for 6 since I always folder it and tied it at the end. Makes so much more sense now!

[@BlushingRoseDiaries]

I tied mine off the same way but second guessed myself and KZbind how to do it. I feel so better now that I got confirmation. Thank you for this video!

[@maryleafmakes9785]

To answer your question: I promise, if you keep the tail long enough and don’t pull too hard, the tail will not come through while embroidering. When you hold the needle, try to hold on at the eye to help keep it from coming through. It just takes some practice but it’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it!

[@khonekhali9756]

Just a tip for everyone 🙏 Cute the thread in 45 degrees on any angle with sizers, so that way thread goes very easy into niddle hole. Thank you🌍

[@monicalee9141]

best tip ever, got it the first try. thank you

[@kelseyspriet5552]

I've been wanting to get back into embroidery and my grandma sent me some patterns to practice. I couldn't remember how to get started with it, but this is EXACTLY how she taught me when I was a kid, it all fell back into place for me. Thank you!

[@lowkeywrites]

Thank you soo mich I was searching for it everywhere and then I found you thank you ♥️

[@ariannebarbato2221]

Thank you! This was the easiest video for me to follow!

[@santana8652]

Literally the best explanation video ever!!

[@dominiquefitch3564]

Simple and sweet. Very helpful! Thanks. I'm off to begin lol!

[@koobsy]

this is sosososososo helpful!! i’m trying to embroider my school backpack to add some spice and i had forgotten how to embroider even though i have done before 😂 thank you so much!!

[@red7301]

Thank you so much for explaining in detail.❤️

[@maaaartn]

Thank you soooo much for this! ❤️ I wasn’t sure what to do with the tail but this solved my problem haha

[@KattLover5412]

How do you prevent your tail from pulling back through your needle while you're switching?

[@jonathanmauldin8801]

Exactly what I’m trying to understand!!

[@sallyvenus6493]

Someone answer this

[@katep1388]

Sameee

[@swain-Ix1tv]

ive heard that you're supposed to hold the needle by its eye to kinda hold the tail in place, but it's a little hard to get used to lol, so practice i guess

[@chrisjason9943]

She's actually holding the end of the needle which keeps the thread in place

[@1HalfbloodPrince]

This was super helpful!

[@brittanicecil3402]

this was very informative!!! my first time attempting and it was very smooth!! thank you

[@lesliekendall5668]

I LOVE the way you made the ending knot. That way it can't pop out through the fabric. Sometimes for the beginning knot, if I'm afraid the knot may eventually pop through, say I'm using two strands of thread. I'll make the beginning knot, put my needle through to the front and then when I go back down, I'll slip the needle through the two strrands above the knot before going back to the top. Did that make sense?

[@supernova5621]

this was super helpful. thank you so much!

[@fleetlepop6761]

How does the tail not come out of the eye when you’re embroidering or pulling the thread to make a stitch? Are you holding the needle with the tail and the thread next to it?

Thank you so much! this is very useful.

[@lexiebae_]

Thank you for this video ❤️

[@Amethiist143]

I find, for me, Vaseline works pretty good for flattening the end out 😊 P.S THANK YOU I was trying to embroider as if I was sewing and it was so confusing this is WAY easier

[@alessandradinosanunciacao4551]

Great job , i am braziliam. Hanks for madeThis video..

[@Bri_Sch]

Thank you this helped!

[@zainabhussain6909]

Thank you for the easy to understand video! Just a question though, won’t the needle come off since one end of the thread isn’t knotted??

[@2510ss]

Does it mean the other side is not knotted? If its open then how is holding up fine while embroidering?

[@lesliekendall5668]

The knot on the bottom always allows there to be tension in the thread.

[@lesliekendall5668]

You tie the final knot at the end when the thread gets short enough that there's not enough thread to work with and still knot it at the end.

[@emoryrubyg9631]

Thank you for this!

[@annas.r.p.5835]

which end of the thread off the skein do you use to prevent knotting .... cut end or the older end ??? it has something to do with the twist

[@umairah8887]

I luv ur vid

[@abbygarcia2636]

What’s the purpose of the tail?

[@type_Kizuna]

If I make a knot where the needle is then it gets sometimes hard to pull through the fabric. That's why I leave the tail at the start.

[@lesliekendall5668]

@@type_Kizuna A knot where the needle is??? The tail is so that you can start with a longer piece of thread while keeping it at a constant length while you stitch.

[@type_Kizuna]

@@lesliekendall5668 she also called it like that so I assumed it was where the needle is. Whoops

[@omamamoin3022]

awsome

[@sadmillennialbaby93]

So do you keep going until you have no more tail?

[@kaitlynkowalski4267]

So you don’t knot off the tail? Near the needle head?

[@yuki97kira]

I joined a discord and had trouble with my thread looking bulkier than the guide...so im just here to see how thr needles and thread works

[@SoundPunk69]

Thank you so much, I have been doing it where I connect both ends and tie a knot, I feel like I waste so much floss.

[@GaryCannone]

What is an “anchor” or “thread anchor” that is spoken about? I can’t find it on the internet, can someone provide a link, or product name? I have MS and it has affected my manual dexterity a lot, any help would be appreciated!

[@manicangel7796]

So why not just use a sewing needle accessory to thread the needle? Is it not the same with embroidery floss?

[@thisoneisalive]

Whenever I leave the tail the thread slides right out the needle as I try to embroider!

[@user-ib7wy4oq9e]

I'm sooo confused. There's only one knot at the end of the thread?? Not on to hold the actual thread to the needle to stop it from falling out??

[@hiroshigonzalez4208]

THANK YOU!!!

[@alyssarodriguez5865]

Ok so I got how to thread it how other ppl do it. But when you showed how you do it with the tail I got lost Bc you didn't show it in the camera your hand was covering it

[@lesliekendall5668]

Say if you want to use 2 strands, all she was saying is that she threads the needle with 2 strands and leaves a tail. But some people put 1 strand through the needle and tie the ends together to make it end up 2-stranded.

[@alyssarodriguez5865]

Ok so how you thread your needle you leave a tail & at the top you make a knot as well as the bottom you make a knot right? Sorry I've watched it over and over but you didn't show how you knot it at the top. I'm a beginner so I know absolutely nothing I'm trying to learn

[@Jiffypizza]

Yeah I’m also confused about that

[@lesliekendall5668]

There's NO knot at the top.

[@lesliekendall5668]

She made a single knot at the bottom (which usually isn't big enough and will pop through the fabric) but instead of making the knot bigger by tying knot after knot in the same place, she made the knot larger on the bottom by wrapping the thread around the needle and sliding it down to the lower knot.

[@prideandpity]

@@lesliekendall5668 do you do the same when doing a pattern that calls for one strand? the knot is so small and doesn’t hold up

[@lesliekendall5668]

@@prideandpity I've never done just one strand but if it's that small or if it's iffy like that, I'd loop it through a stitch on the back and knot it to the loop.

Jesus isn't god. Look , If he god why he need to pray,think deeply.he just normally prophet like other prophet. Islam only true and peace religion. ...☔..No one can go heaven without Islam.🌧️ But unfortunately media show us fake & false Information about Islam.💜so I suggest all to study about Islam deeply🌎🔍⚙️
