yaklady Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 When you back up the last three stitches, you can add a knot to the stitch itself to stregthen it. Pull both needles through the hole, and loop one or both needles around the thread before pulling it tight. Some people stitch the whole project doing this. I don't feel it's necessary.

esantoro Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 I've tried melting the ends but I'm always worried that I might weaken the surrounding stitches, so I've been cutting flush and using a tiny bit of super glue. ed +1 Quote http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
