• 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.

• To ensure threads do not come undone
after being tied place a drop of fabric glue
on knots.

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.
