How to Tie a Knot for Hand Sewing - Beginner Sewing Tutorial 2

[@arthurderas]

For those confused: 1) Ignore the thread length that’s twisted. It looks like something happened that we missed but it’s irrelevant. It’s just her thread doing that on its own and it doesn’t do anything. 2) when she says “reverse” the needle, she means move the needle with the eye facing the tail-end pinched between fore and thumb. 3) take the tail-end side of the thread and wind that around the needle 3 times. The “tail-end” refers to the end of the thread opposite of the needle. 4) With the spiral‘s windings pinched between fore and thumb, pull the needle point-ward away from the fore-thumb thread. This tightens the thread, securing the knot. Hope this helps !!

Idont know why others is 🤷‍♀️ confused

[@ElzRose]

Ok now I think it’s me that’s stupid coz I’m still confused

[@thomasfrench2012]

Not everyone thinks and learns the same. What is blatantly obvious to one person can be totally confusing to another simply on the way it is presented because of the way their mind works. In one of his interviews, Richard Feynman gave a brilliant example of how people think in different ways. He and another scientist each knew they could do something that the other could not comprehend could possibly be done. Each had a brilliant mind, but because of the way each of their minds worked, they could not could not do what the other found simple. This is why we fail so many of our young people. We have a school system that believes because it was easy for them to learn this way, then that way must be the right and ONLY way to learn. So if this video was confusing to you, take comfort in the reason why and that you are not alone. Seek out other examples and maybe one of them will click for you.

Yup. sounds about right

Oof. that's gonna be a pain to get out lol

Really? Slow down or speed up playback speed. This wasn't confusing for me. But there is a YTV that shows us how to tie shoes in seconds that I've been watching very slowly. 😅

[@potcha]

@i blocked ads to watch this video Thats all these Reddit queens ever do, regurgitate the same tired joke as the other 10,000 cookie-cutter Redditors, each one more desperate for peer approval than the last. It is utterly pathetic. That site has been a cancer of the internet since it first started, as, poetically enough, a cookie-cutter copy of digg.

[@VandelayH]

"Hold the needle." Me: Got it "Now just take the end loop and reverse the needle top side until the back eye is against your thumb and forefinger and rotate anticlockwise until your left hand is perpendicular to the underside of the short threat and DONE! .........

[@Soraiya]

It worked, and I'm stunned/delighted! It looked like a bit of magic. When my knot appeared at the end after pulling, I couldn't believe it. So much easier than the kindergarten-style knot making I was previously doing. Thank you!

[@kevinw.4129]

i love this woman! I need to sew something maybe once every two years and by then have forgotten how to get started. I have saved this and pull it up whenever I tackle sewing again. And her accent is adorable.

[@bigyeticane]

6 years later, and you are still helping dumb guys like me learn how to stitch our own clothing. Thanks for basics videos like this. You rock, SMS. :-D

[@caesiumtea]

I watched a couple other videos on the tailor's knot, but this is by far the most visibly filmed one I've found, so thank you for putting in the extra effort to light it well and zoom in!

[@tamikeen8019]

I'm 64 & my eyes aren't what they used to be! Came on here to find a way to thread a needle without my glasses & watched this video too. I love your videos!! I've been sewing since 7th grade & haven't seen these techniques. I'm thrilled. Lol I love sewing. Thank you!

[@lisawise7398]

I’m 38 years old and by watching your video I just now figured out how to tie a decent knot at the end of my thread. Thank you so much!!!

[@ryuu__official]

man i was extremely frustrated in constantly failing in making knots, then i came across your vid, still got pissed i couldn't do it right, but I did not give up. I FINALLY got it. I'm so bad with tiny stuff like this. Little by litte I am getting the hang of it now, thanks to your vids. I must've replayed your video like 20 times lol.

[@Solitary_Sunset]

I have tried 2 other tutorials and they didn’t work, but I’m so glad I found this video because I finally was able to tie the knot at the end of my thread. Thank You!

[@ferryportia9442]

Thank you so much ! I'm fitting a car steering wheel cover and couldn't understand how to do this knot until I saw your video x

While I’m not a beginner-beginner, this was so helpful! Thank you!!! I was just going back to do some minor repairs on a favorite shirt and this was wonderful, thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I’ve been sewing since I was a little girl, but I have never seen this before. Thank you for changing my life at the ripe wonderful age of 50!😂❤🎉

[@sophiatomawis6175]

Omg! I am just searching how to thread and knot for sewing and I found out this! Thanks for the help girl!

[@katethevampire]

This is actually so much better than the in-person sewing class I took at school i did not know what I was doing then but this is so well explained!

[@Aerobob42]

Thanks for the tip. Never too old to learn. Took a couple of goes but got it ok. Also used your threading the needle tip. Thanks from an old geezer.

[@deathwish1085]

You are an amazing teacher. Going to try and hand sew a hem for the first time today. Thank you.

[@Dove_360]

Huh! All this time trying to get my knots to line up i could have been doing this! Brilliant! 😊

[@sisancooper5645]

Very happy with your help thank you I’m actually have some furniture and I’ve had a brain injuries left me paralysed and I was working out I could do with one hand and then you just show me thank you so much

[@yuriavk750]

I had forgotten how to tie a knot for the needle;;; But when I finished watching your video I remembered the original way i had learned it and i prefer your method~

[@StitchMyStyle]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@angelahartzell92]

That was actually really easy to understand. Makes sense to me! I’m going to try it

[@Kevin-vw7yi]

OK, Thank you for the loose end of the thread, but how do you keep the other end of the thread in the eye of the needle without it coming out?

[@sollucky]

This

[@curiouslucious]

omg what is this gypsy magic. you've changed my life!

[@river2jean714]

For so many years I have struggled with making a sewing knot, I just watched your video, tried it and it worked the first time. Not sure why others were having a problem, your instructions were very clear and well done. I love this knot, so simple and it gives you a good little fat knot so as not to pull through the fabric! Thank you for ending my sewing knot struggle!

[@calista5960]

Same i can’t believe someone is confused with just this

[@yukoneggie]

Because not everyone is you, and grasps things differently? It’s confusing to me, and I always just do a simple knot.

[@hollyanneweaver4303]

The only different method, and it's simply brilliant! FINALLY! One that works every single time, the first time!!! Thanks ever so!!!

[@LowLifeAM]

Great video to reference when I forget again, thanks for the help!

This was super helpful!! I accidentally ripped the band on my covid mask and this helped me fix it!

Thank you. This technique worked on the second try.

I saw a few videos on how to do this and this one was the most clear! Finally got it. Thank you!

[@CYMotorsport]

I don't know how this witchcraft just worked but it did. well played

[@niteshkumarpatel]

Just the video I was looking for.

[@Frodohotep]

Thank you! This is a mystery solved! Even watching your video, I was at first thinking, “what sorcery is this?” But both the first video on threading the needle and this one on tying the knot brought me success on the first try! I’ve always been hopeless with string and rope. But this worked. Thanks again.

[@JulieV5683]

Oh my goodness, I’ve been tying the first type all my life and getting frustrated when it pulls through when (attempting) to hand sew. I’m terrible at hand seeing so hoping you have more videos on the subject. So glad this caught my eye!!! Thank you.

[@scootermom1791]

Same here! I end up tying a double or triple knot, but it's so hard to do because you can't get the first knot to meet up with the 2nd most of the time. It's hard to explain, but I'm glad I found this video. Hopefully it won't be so difficult to get a big enough knot now.

[@KarleneMRobinson]

What an awesome method. A nice neat knot every time. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this little gem!

[@charlyesmith4552]

It took me a few try’s but I got it. Very good demonstration, thank you.

Wtf I’ve never seen a more complicated explanation of a knot.

[@kaurii8770]

Then how did I do it 🤔

[@lisam8044]

It was very confusing, I kept making knots with only one strand, how do you get the other tail incorporated so it's a knot holding both ends for sewing?
