General knotting resources

Starter knots

• Before you start to sew, you need to tie a knot to prevent your thread from going all the way through your fabric.
• Given your fabric weight, we recommend that you turn (a.k.a wrap) the running thread around your needle at least ${starterKnotTurns} times before pulling it into a knot.

Finishing knots

• It’s time for you to tie off your thread if you’re either done with your seam, or are down to 3 inches of thread.
