b Bobbin thread
Note
• If it is difficult to place bobbin thread through
the eye of a hand sewing needle, use a
ribbon embroidery needle to pull the thread
up to the wrong side of the fabric. Otherwise,
use an awl to pull up the bobbin thread.
b
Working from the wrong side of the fabric,
tie the bobbin and upper threads together
by hand. Cut away excess threads with
scissors.

Note
• To ensure threads do not come undone after
being tied place a drop of fabric glue on
knots.
c
If the desired results could not be achieved,
adjust the tension of the bobbin thread and
of the upper thread, and then try sewing the
stitching again.
