I’m in tears I’m so grateful - I rewound that a few times and now I completely get it 🥹 my grandma (rest in peace) used to sew with me she taught me the same knot trick when I was very young, but I forgot how - until now 🙌 🙏 🎉
Until today I thought the Navy had taught me to sew patches really well. But I did not know the thread/knot trick, and I honestly thought the purpose of a thimble was to keep you from sticking yourself.
Also, a great way to keep your thread from twisting and knitting as easily is to loop the thread, put the loop through the eye of the needle, and then running the thread through that loop. I learned that reading a book about sewing. Your thread might still tangle up some, but not nearly as much.
thank you so much for the super helpful video!! question: would this type of stitch work with a shirt or would it be too flimsy? I'm trying to sew a patch onto a Dickies work shirt and I want to make sure it will be ok in the wash :)
If you don't have thread wax, running the needle through your hair can help! It's a technique I learned for sewing on ribbons to pointe shoes. Any natural grease in your hair helps glide the needle and thread through stiffer fabrics.
All my patches have super thick glue on them and it takes all I got to push the needle through it. Should I try using a bigger needle? It’s really hard to use the tiny ones and push them through. It seems more natural to use my thumb but there’s no thimble big enough. 😂
My daughter’s backpack now contains 400% more hello kitty thanks to you. Cheers
Awesome to hear that! Hello Kitty for the win! Cheers to your daughter's adorable backpack!
Shes my spirit animal (i love hello kitty)
The explanation on how to make a knot is truly life changing lolol I'm saving so much time now making knots like that
I'm so glad to hear that the knot tutorial is making a difference for you! Knots can be surprisingly tricky, but they’re such a useful skill to have.
Now I'm an old man with a thimble. Thanx for sharing your knowledge!
You bet! Thank you for watching.

I've been doing it a harder way for a while now, thank you for showing something that should be a lot easier and faster

Congratulations on sewing your first patch! That's a great achievement.
Thank you for this!! Beautifully done! Now if you could make one for soft luggage, that would be AMAZIN'!
thank you for your tips! Can you easily take off the patch and put a different one on? What would you use to cut the threads?

this was a tremendous help!
Awesome, I'm really happy it helped you out!

Hummmm try just catching the edge. You can also get a leather thimble finger thing. They use them in leather making.
Helpful tips
Glad to hear that
How do you attach patches to a clear backpacks? My kids school require clear backpacks and I don't want to accidentally tear the plastic
@@makeeverythingsparkle1611 use a long stitch length !
Thank you for using green thread so we can see it..also didn’t know about the wax tip. All these years getting frustrated with knots 🫠
Glad it was helpful!
