I think if knots work for you and they don't produce lumpiness in your project, keep on using that method. Stitching is so individualized, whatever works for you, works for you!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500908214242939547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-42234568756541260192018-04-18T06:23:33.640-04:002018-04-18T06:23:33.640-04:00I usually use one strand of floss and double stitc...I usually use one strand of floss and double stitch it when I am dealing with a small amount of stitching like that so that I do not have to carry the black floss over.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601483236926246196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-48256509699238075572018-04-18T03:21:48.330-04:002018-04-18T03:21:48.330-04:00I am not a knot girl.

If that makes sense! Even with using a pinhead stitch to start, I may make a small knot to end.

I slip the needle through the center of the two threads on back of the stitch twice creating a loop, then slip the needle through it to create a knot. Sometimes twice, the second splitting between the two treads of the loop. The ends are pulled opposite under the stitches. The framer where I worked would add a very thin layer of fleece (not batting) under the piece when there was bunching of threads, they buried into it. I carry over threads many times and add acid free tissue paper or thin muslin beneath those areas when finishing so they aren't seen from the front. Since the majority of my work ends with a thin fusible interfacing, that sort of secures threads from loosening. I'm sure what you're doing is a good method and I don't have issues with knotty stitchers.marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-39762630226176458282018-04-17T14:05:18.252-04:002018-04-17T14:05:18.252-04:00I never use knots at all.

I do the same with one or two stitches and never seem to have any problems but I have always done it this way. I never use knots excepted for french knots. I don't know what else to say, I would not run black thread along the back of your stitching if the other colours are lighter. Will show thru.
