Now, you mention it! Oh yeah! my knot is at they eye of needle. I see, this knot at needle eye widen stitching hole after my needle went through to it.

I run my thread through the needle eyelet, run my thread around needle body three time and pierce my thread(only once) with needle point. Then pull the back of thread and form the knot around eye of needle, this lock my thread to needle. Thats it.

Oh, I use Vinyl MBT size 8 thread. I am searching for .35 thread to try but I found none in US. I see you mentioned a couple of times that you use Meisi 30 thread. For .35m size I can only find places that ship from Hong Kong and China. How long does it take for your to get your Meisi?

I buy from Meisi https://www.meisithreads.com/waxed-linen-threads I live in Europe, but it was rather quick (Except customs in that suck here) Shipping was 4-5 days + customs.

Here you have a couple of colors in Us (YueFung is the same thread) Be careful Meisi manufactured AmyRoke thread before, but I'm quite certain they changed supplier.

You can also use Fil Au Chinois 832 (0.43mm) Around the same price but larger spools.
