3 Again it is personal preference as towhich method you use. Knots - When the project is to be backedor framed, I feel it is all right to use a knot -as long as it doesn t show through thefabric. When working multiple strands ofthread, a knot can be necessary, as a splitstitch may not hold securely. Split Stitch - works particularly well whenusing single strands of thread. Work thiswhere the tiny Stitch on the surface will becovered by the embroidery. On the back ofthe work, pick up a small Stitch . Stitch backthrough again and split the thread you areworking. Split Back Stitch - Work this where thetiny Stitch on the surface will be covered bythe embroidery.

4 Come up from the back ofthe work and hold the tail of the threadunderneath. Work a tiny Stitch and comeback up through the centre of the Stitch tosplit the thread. Waste Knot - Put a knot in the end of thethread. Go down into the fabric from thetop at least 5-8cm (2"-3") from the start ofthe embroidery. Work the finished, clip off the knot on thesurface so the thread is on the wrong sideof the work. Thread into a needle andsecure into the stitching on the back of thework.
