Knots!

Do you tie a knot when you embroider?  Or how do
you begin your stitching?  I tie a small knot, but have
not really been happy doing that because it always
leaves a little bump where the knot is.  For a period of
time I tried leaving a small length of embroidery
thread on the back as I began and stitched over it
hoping to catch the thread.   But, I always worried
that it might pull out and then there would go all
my hard work.

So when this tutorial was recommended to me by
friends at my favorite quilting shop, I decided to
check it out.  It is so very simple!  Why didn't I
think of it?  Perhaps you  have already seen
this.  If not check it out.    Bari J

Do you have a favorite way to begin and end
your embroidery stitching.  If so, I'd love to
have you share it with me.

Also while visiting Fiona she posted about
improving her embroidery skills. Go here:
 Helen is teaching different stitches and
you can work on some great little
designs.  It would also be a great site for
someone who wants to learn the different
embroidery stitches.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day.
