If your hobby is embroidery, then you probably want your finished work to be neat and durable. On embroidery, it is important to be able to properly fasten the working thread so that knots and ugly fringes from threads do not appear on the wrong side of the work. The more accurate the wrong side of the embroidery, the more noticeable the experience and diligence of the craftswoman.
Instructions
Step 1
The thread securing methods differ depending on whether you are embroidering with single thread or double thread. If the embroidery is with a single thread, fasten it with small stitches on the front side in the place that will be further covered by the pattern. It is convenient to do this if you are embroidering with satin stitch.
Step 2
Another way to secure the thread is with a needle stitch. Pierce the fabric from inside to the right side and pull the thread, leaving a small end of it from the inside (about 2 cm). Next to the first puncture, make another one towards the wrong side, and then bring the needle back to the right side and secure the remaining end.
Step 3
If the embroidery is with a double thread, and you need to start work with a neat stitch without knots, fold the thread in half and pass it into the eye of the needle with a fold. Then sew a simple stitch and thread the needle through the buttonhole. Tighten the resulting knot and sew further.
Step 4
You can also fasten the thread on the seamy side by making small stitches "forward to the needle", hiding them under the seamy stitches of the embroidery, cutting off the ends with scissors.
Step 5
If you are doing beautiful openwork embroidery and the fastening stitches cannot be hidden behind a dense pattern, fasten the thread by making a couple of stitches and a loop on the threads of the canvas itself and tightening it. The thinner the embroidery fabric, the more threads you will need to stitch. Make the stitches as small and neat as possible, try to make them invisible, and your embroidery will look neat and tidy.
