Are you wrapping the thread the right way on the needle? Basically pull the thread up through the fabric and hold the thread in place a few inches from the fabric. Wrap the needle tip pointing away from the fabric (towards where you are holding the thread.) If you wrap it with the point going towards the fabric it will untwist and pull through the fabric leaving you with basically nothing. I hope that helps.

I really like both versions to be honest and I think the wrong one would be the correct one in some contexts. For example for my lavander embroidery I used the wrong version and in my view it looks much better with a "messier" knot than with a clean one. But great tip! I see some people didnt know how to make the knot look clean.

Yes, I agree. When I did my fashion diploma we were taught 'the right way' and I chose to do some seams 'the wrong way' ...my tutor told me once you know the right way you can experiment with other ways. So, I think, there is no wrong way if it's what you want. (as long as it doesn't fall apart lol).

@Tianna Elizalde Me either! its brutal lol my biggest trigger is children, so anytime I hear a kid scream, talk or laugh I have a breakdown and shut down. I talked to my doctor about it and I'm starting cognitive behavioural therapy and I take 200g of sertraline a day to chill out (it helps a bit) I suppose I do have physical reactions like if I hear a kid I lay in bed an cry myself to sleep lol and I contemplate taking my life over it too, I sweat as well, I literally CANNOT stand the voice of a child (I dont dislike kids I just get an unexplained reaction when I hear them 🤷🏻‍♀️) take care of yourself!! Noise can have such a serious impact on people's lives, I've never seen anyone admit they have misophonia, I think it should be discussed more! x Edit: grammar mistake

I haven't started the cognitive behavioural therapy yet because of covid but I think itll basically be teaching me coping mechanisms, problem solving, correcting behaviours or thought patterns. I have severe OCD which impacts my misophonia, I think my doctor wants to tackle the ocd first. CBT is complex I just heard about it 1 year ago but theres plenty of info on google!! It's used for body dysmorphia disorder as well. And omg the headphones are a life saver eh, I cant help myself but blast it in my ears 😂. sweetest reply I've ever read, you have a heart of gold.

I learned very quickly to hold the thread. I’ve also found that wrapping it three times works well and gives a slightly bigger knot. I also like the affect that a looser knot gives sometimes (though you have to be careful the thread doesn’t tangle and knot too soon. Honestly I find satin stitch harder than french knots.

Ughhh you are an embroidery angel! I’ve only done french knots once before, and I struggled so much to even do them to start with, let alone do them nice and neat! (They were for pupils, so neat looks far better than messy) It took me at least an hour to get all four knots done satisfactory enough. Had I had this tutorial at the time, I would have had a much better time of it. Your video is amazing. It’s short and sweet and gets straight into the heart of the matter, and you explain the method so well. I’d been struggling to do a french knot again when I found this, and I can say that the next french knot I did was the best I’ve ever done in one try!

Kept trying this and the thread would just pull through with no knot. I finally realized I was pulling the wrong thread! If your knot isn't forming, be sure you're pulling the thread tail that's been wrapped around the needle, not the side that's coming up through the fabric. At 1:29, see how she's holding the thread tail that's been wrapped and not the thread that's through the fabric. Wrap the thread and keep ahold of that piece while you push the needle back through.

Do you do any ASMR videos? The embroidering sound on this video is sooo lovely - I'd love to listen to it without talking.

@@riverbirchthreads4791 please do! whatever you're using for sound currently is INCREDIBLE. all you'd have to do is record you doing one of your embroidery projects and we'd watch soo much of it

Lillith they are surprisingly difficult! Most people who embroider have a battle with this funny little stitch at some point or another.

Thank you for this video! I am teaching myself cross stitching and the pattern said it needed French knots and I was so confused. I've been looking everywhere and this is the best video I've found on how to do them correctly! It's like a light bulb clicked in my head! Thank you again! 😊 ❤

Thanks so very much! Years ago, I did three pillows all in French Knots. Now 40 years later, they just aren't working for me! UGH! But watching your clear instructional video, I'll give it a go again, and think I see the problem!

OMG! I haven't practiced embroidery for the past 15 years. But by the time I used to, the French knot was a mystery for me! My embroidery used to be very neat, but the French knot was totally nightmarish! Exactly the wrong way you've shown! 😅😅 Think I'll get back to my needles! Thank you for the pro tip!
