I've never forgotten the formula for a square knot: "Right over left and under; left over right and under." I've been leery of a machine without auto-threading, because my eyes are struggling with needle eyes; nice to know this technique.
Thanks for watching :)
Thanks! I wrote that down.
i was told it was a reef knot but same formula so must be a situational thing re the name
I was taught this knot in Girl Guides and back then it was called a "reef knot" - it is a non-slip way of joining threads that is not as bulky as some other knots - thank you JD for the refresher!
Good to know! Thanks for watching :)

Just purchased my first design from this company (fsl) to fill in a low neckline, and took up the invitation to subscribe to the RUclips videos. I'm going to thoroughly enjoy viewing these as although I've been a machine embroidery enthusiast for many years, I've already learned from John Deer how to knot thread to save re-threading at every colour change. Thank you for all the information I now have at my fingertips!
Thanks for knot tying tip. I had forgotten about that. With a commercial machine 15 SWF without threaders I glad I stumbled upon your tip.
Than you john for a great tip I have a 10 needle machine That I bought for Gary from Echidna 10 years ago and he showed me that tip.which is a great idea.
Thank you again.
Brilliant! Just done a test with a normal sewing needle and it works really well. That's going to save me so much time in the future. Thank you very much.
Glad it helped! :)
Thank you John for posting this, I will try this on my serger needles.
I do the same with my overlock machine. Unfortunately I don't have such a great multi-needle embroidery machine. Thanks for this video.
Awesome, glad you already knew the trick :) Just got this ZSK machine & we couldn't be more excited! :)
That knot is a simple square knot, I always have to double wind my threads over each other or they always slip apart at the needle eye. Am going to try getting some slack from the uptake lever as you showed and see if that helps! Thank you!
I believe it is called a "Fisherman's knot". If you are an old-fashioned knitter, you know this knot. It is the best knot, so threads do not come apart.
Cool! Thanks for watching :)
Been just using a normal knot but I am going start using this knot, Thank you. Keep up the great Vid's
Appreciate the kind words Greg! Thanks for watching :)

Great Information!! I always just tie a knot and sometimes it comes apart. I will be using this method now!! Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video Cindy :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you John. I have been tying a knot three times and it holds, but it will not go thru the eye of the needle. I'm going to give this a try. It's a time saver. Thanks for this great tip.
My pleasure Bonnie! :) I Hope this method gives you more success. Thanks for watching :)
great tutorial i wish i had a machine like yours!
Thanks for the kind words, we just got the ZSK and couldn't be more excited :)
Great tip, thanks a lot, will try it on the spot.
My pleasure Susana, thanks for watching!
Thank you!! I love this! I have a needle threader on my machine, but it only works sometimes, and with the old eyes I have a problem threading my machine manually.
My pleasure Gail, enjoy the new trick! :) Thanks for watching
That's a Girl Scout square knot! Thanks!
Good to know :) Thanks for watching!
One suggestion to "help" the reef/square knot to not slip is to go twice under. Then it's called a surgeon knot.
This is how I thread my serger and as you say, it works really well; but sometimes the thread becomes very static, so I wet it, this seems to work too. Yes my eyes are not as sharp as they used to be and I cannot always tell if I am actually holding the thread so it can get a little fraught when threading any of my machines. My partner knows to keep clear if this happens!!!
If it works for you sounds like a good solution :) Thanks for watching Gill
How to get the needle lined up in the machine. Commercial machines have no flat back. Hard to line needles up since it hard to see. You got tips? Thanks
Do you trim the tails after the knot is made?
after watching this 6 times and having to rethread all 10 needles, I think I might have it figured out.
Glad you were able to figure it out! Thanks for watching :)
its a reef knot the only knot i remember how to tie after learning it in girl guides lol left over right and under then right over left and under
That is a SQUARE knot.
It is a square knot.
