What i do with the ends of the threads

I am often asked why I leave the ends of the threads at the bottom. Firstly, it is much better to adjust the tension of the threads and the darning is more accurate and dense. Secondly, if you want to use a lot of colors or make a more complex pattern, then you will not be able to do it any other way. So today I'm showing you what I'm doing with the ends of the threads. After we have disconnected the hooks from the darning and sewn on the loops, turn the product inside out, pull the ends of the threads and use a needle to bring them into the hole. Then we cut it off, lay it out neatly inside the hole and sew it up.

Thank you for your all your tutorials! No-one else covers this step!

[@denisimon3483]

Thank you. Other tutorials omit this step. I have been searching since darning a sock with multiple strands and then being unclear as how to weave them to the back to neatly dispose of them. Wonderful step-by-step directions, including sewing up the rip with regular thread.

Also, in this example the hole to be mended is small. What if someone has a round, open hole?

[@bizzee47]

Do NOT use 6 strand embroidery/cross stitch floss for socks, sweaters, mittens. Use thin tapestry/embroidery yarn which only has 1 strand, is stretchy and softer/not as stiff in the end. Basically, try to match the thickness and texture of floss/yarn to whatever you are mending.

Thank you. This is so helpful.

Thank you! I’ve looked everywhere for a tutorial on how to finish a repair.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I was puzzled as to how to "weave in the loose threads" in the back as another person's video suggested and this is a lot easier and quicker than what I was trying to do!

Thank you so much for sharing this

[@lucysnowe31]

So there are loose threads under the woven area?

[@brittanywinn3955]

Thank you! Every video just says "weave in the ends"! Thank you.
Also did you just cut those jeans for the sake of this video?

[@missionxgoods2119]

Unfortunately, I don't have many things that really need to be fixed.. So I have to use one pair of jeans as needed.

[@kristinaniemiec5505]

​@@missionxgoods2119so embroidery thread is made up of about 6 braided strings, do you use the thread as it is or separate them and use only a few strings at a time from the thread? Or does it depend on the thickness of the fabric you are mending?

[@missionxgoods2119]

@@kristinaniemiec5505 Usually I use the thread as it is😉

[@rachelmaloney3863]

Thank you!

[@randalllaue4042]

Would it not help to whip stitch the original hole? First…

[@bizzee47]

If you whipstitch first you cannot pull the tails to the middle!

[@veroniquepeltier3631]

Thanks a bunch!

[@elektrobear2027]

Do you knot your thread before pulling them into the middle?

[@missionxgoods2119]

No
