How to Tie a Quilter’s Knot (No Needle Dropping!) | Easy Sewing & Embroidery Tip

Описание: Today I’m sharing a simple technique for quilters and embroiderers: how to make a Quilter’s Knot (also called a quilting knot) — a fast, reliable knot you can tie without ever setting your needle down.

If you learned the “old-fashioned” way (spin the thread, pull it through, tighten), you know the downside: you often have to put the needle down while you work the tail end… and that’s when needles get dropped, lost, or unthreaded (especially frustrating when it was hard to thread in the first place!).

In this tutorial, I use an easy memory trick I’ve taught students for years:
🐶 “The dog chases its tail” method

The needle is the dog

The thread tail is the tail

The dog catches its tail (not just lays next to it)

Wrap the tail around the dog’s nose the right number of times

Then the dog leaps through

Pinch the wraps and don’t let go as you slide the knot down

🧵 Wrap count tips

Embroidery floss: usually 2–3 wraps

Sewing/quilting thread: often 5–6 wraps (adjust for your thread thickness)

✅ The key to a neat knot: pinch the wraps and hold them all the way down as you pull, so the knot forms cleanly at the base of your thread.

Thanks for watching — and happy stitching!
