No problem on an even weave fabric but when you have to guesstimate, well the results are not nice.

Maybe you can try it my way. Don't wrap the needle with the thread, but put the thread in a big loop in the same direction as you would if you wrapped the needle. That way you can guide the knot to the place you want it to be if you pull the thread through. It also helps to get the right tension. As a bonus this works much faster as wrapping your needle!Annethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938803180320247229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-59315902843712753812013-04-07T18:31:39.546+09:002013-04-07T18:31:39.546+09:00That is definitely not a stitch I will try on my &...That is definitely not a stitch I will try on my "Queenie" block!
