How to Tie Knots in the End of Embroidery Floss with a Quilter’s Knot

Tying knots in the end of embroidery floss seems like an easy task.  A regular knot might not be big enough, depending on the weave of your fabric.  So you go to tie a double knot… that’s when the trouble starts.  It can be difficult to get the knot in the right place a second time.  Cue the quilter’s knot.  The quilter’s knot is easy to execute, and it makes a knot large enough that it won’t slip through the fabric.

In the following video, I’ll show you how to make a quilter’s not at the end of your embroidery floss.  It looks difficult at first, but it’s actually pretty simple.  Give it a try, and you’ll see.  (If you are using an ad blocker, you may need to turn it off to see the video.)

Easy, right?!  Take a look at my how to embroider for beginners post for more embroidery tips.
