thread this
way is also ideal for intricate stitches, which can’t be completed with a domestic sewing machine.

- Wrap the thread around your index finger to create an X shape.
- Grasp the X between your thumb and index finger.
- Move your index finger back letting the thread move ahead through the back of the loop. Pull the
thread
that has just gone through the loop with your other hand until a tight knot is formed.
