Thank you so much for this video! I did not know how to secure the stitch and it was frustrating watching videos where they don't show it! This video is exactly what I needed!
So glad I could help.
Same with me! I'm a beginner and I'm happy that I found this!
Thank you so much. Everyone else just left loose threads and i wanted mine to be secure. This helped a ton.
Glad I could help. Aneka
Yes, exactly! I wanted the same thing and wondered why anyone would leave the thread tails loose and hanging. It just seemed lazy and unfinished to me. It also seemed like a waste of extra thread to do alot of back stitching when you could just tie it off and/or tuck it in neatly.

i realize this was simple, but thank you for uploading this video, when u pulled the thread to the wrong side of the fabric it blew my mind..great technique, i love your videos
Thanks so much.
OMG I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
So pleased I could help. Aneka x
Finally someone who shows and explains quickly and simply! I'm using a sewing machine for the 1st time in 20+ years and had been wondering how to do this. Not knowing was detering me from even trying to use my new sewing machine but now I feel confident. Thank you!!
Thank you Julia. I'm so pleased it was helpful and that you now feel confident to venture on to new projects. Have fun!
I never ever comment on videos but seriously this video was a lifesaver.
Thank you. Glad it helped. 😃
As a crochet artist this was really helpful as I continue on my new sewing journey. Looks like weaving in the ends is also applicable to sewing.
Thank you Eliza, I'm pleased that you found it helpful, and could find that it isn't all new to you!
I crochet and I’m also new to sewing! Lol
Thank you for the generous help. As an individual who learned to sew in home economics class clear back in middle school (UK's Junior School) I was grateful to have found your channel and am subscribing. Recalling the pillow I made in Home Ec., we only utilized the back stitch so, as I've located a stitch in the seam of my pants, stitching it was a great success, until it fell apart again the following week after a run through the laundry. Hopefully this will be the longterm fix.
Thanks again!
How lovely to see this technique being demonstrated again.
I was taught this finishing method at school (over 50 years ago) and have used it ever since. (We didn't have had a backstitch button on ye olde schoole sewing machines!) 😆
My needlework teacher used a very slight variation - after both threads have been knotted on the reverse, thread the needle and pass it up through 3 or 4 stitches, using the eye end of the needle (to avoid catching in the fabric). Then, separate the two threads so that one pass over the last stitch and one passes under, then secure with 3 knots.
Finally, thank you so much for your excellent presentation style. Too many other Y/Ters are a bit 'shouty', use crazy camera techniques and (loud) background music which I find very off putting. Your videos are far better 😊
I'm in sewing school...they don't even teach these old methods anymore, unfortunately. My sewing machine is a Butterfly JA2-1 and I got specifically because I don't have to use an electric motor with it. It came with an electric motor in a box just like any modern sewing machine so I COULD convert it to electric, if I wanted to...but, it came in a box inside the package and not attached. When I got my sewing machine, I put the motor on top of my book case in its box and it has just sat up there ever since. Yes, I take my sewing machine to lessons every week in a large luggage carrier. I have a bunch of reels of cotton as well as several yards of fabric I take with me, as well. I'm the only student that brings her own sewing machine to school. I'm also the only one that doesn't have an ultra modern one that does everything for you, even makes your tea for you.
COVID-19 Mask making made me look for this content and come here as a first time sewing machine user. I normally watch science, sports, and movie related videos on RUclips. Good video, btw! Thank you! Subscribed.
Thank you! Glad I could help with your mask projects! 🙏
I’ve been sewing (or stumbling) several years self taught, and I never knew about this! Thank you for your videos, I’ve subscribed now.
Thanks Sus, really pleased I could help. Aneka ❤️
Thank you so much! I just dug up my mom's sewing stuff and I'm trying to teach myself some things while she's sick. This is awesome
Wonderful! Good luck. I hope she gets well soon. Sending lots of love.
Thank you for this video! Brand new to sewing.
Thank you I just started sewing and I needed to make sure if anything I was going to make was secure and not to loose thank you this helped a lot!
So pleased it was helpful. Thank you.
The best thing my mom ever taught me before she passed was sewing. She was an avid sewer her whole life. However I’m not very familiar with her machine, things seem to come undone even if I back stitch.
Lovely to hear your story. It is always a good fail safe!
Thanks so much for this! I'm a newcomer to the world of sewing, and RUclips tutorials like this are lifesavers
Thank you. Glad I could help.
Excellent! For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to do this! You made it look easy. Thank you.
Glad I could help Alexandra.
I have a decent sewing machine and I can back stitch but it hasn’t helped well for top stitching and for keeping my threads from being so easy to undo. Bless you this will help me make my work much cleaner.
I'm sorry you aren't finding this a solution, may be you need to back stitch and still tie off your threads?
Top stitching tips could be to increase the stitch length, or try a different thread? As you have a decent sewing machine top stitching should work well enough and threads should not be easy to undo. I'm not sure why this isn't working for you?
You just showed me the solution that I've been trying to solve for far too long. Thanks! I use an Adler with #90 threads, self taught sewing machine operator and was too stubborn to seek outside help.
Thanks Mike. Glad I helped.
Weirdly enough, I have just learned what backstitching is thanks to this video! My mom taught me how to machine sew and I'm just used to tying off all of my threads. However backstitching sounds fast, I will keep it in mind! Thanks!!
So glad I could help. Thank you.
Thank you soooo much! I’m new to sawing and I’m having a hard time when it comes to start and finish my stitches ... I’ve tried the reverse thing and for some reason it doesn’t work for me, not sure what I’m doing wrong but what you just showed on this video has been really helpful. Thanks so much. 🙂
Thanks so much. Glad I could help. Feel free to send me a video on your machine if you are still struggling with the reverse. I might be able to help. (info@madetosew.com). Aneka
Thank you so much for this video! I truly appreciate how you got straight to the point and gave clear and quick instructions.
Thank you! I am looking foward to using this technique. My backstitching sometimes gets away from me and my stitching looks slapdash.
Glad it was helpful!
This helped so much. My sewing machine doesn't have a working reverse function and I was sewing leashes! The handles just kept coming undone. Thank you so much!
Glad I could help.
Aneka, love your nails!!! Everything you do is implacably neat and perfect! ❤️
So kind, thank you so much. Aneka xx
Best video everrrrrrr! Found exactly what I was looking for on tying my loose ends off and making them look pretty. You're the best.
Thanks you.
That's so smart, thank you!!
Glad I could help.
Hi Aneka, thank you for such a great series, and for you contribution to the sewing community. I also adore your manicure. Always so glamorous ❤️
Thank you so much Nora. So kind of you to say. Aneka x
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I couldn't find a tutorial anywhere on how to do this. Thank you again!
Glad I could help!
Thankyouu so much for this video , it took me quite some time to find a video that actually thought me how to secure the stitches
Glad I could help Iman. Thank you.
After so many videos, this video helped me a lot! Thank you!
Glad I could help. Aneka x
Thank you very much for helpful tutorials Aneka. Beautiful manicure as always with lovely red ❤️
Thank you so much. Aneka x
I'm doing leatherwork on a pretty heavy machine and since the stitching is visible I was kinda wondering how to make it look nicer. Thanks for the help with this task
Glad I could help.
i owe you my life. you make it look so easy.
That's very kind. You will get there, I promise.
This is basically what I do every time, because I didn't know you were supposed to backstich. I'm going to have to try backstiching now, that seem like it would be much faster 😅
It should make it a little quicker for you. Your not doing anything wrong, but back stitch might help!
you have awesome fingernail polish !
Thank you. 😃
ohhhhh thank you soooo much this is soo helpful
So pleased you have found it helpful
This is great - I couldn't figure it out. Thank you.
Glad I could help. 😀
Thanks, although was obvious but I needed to see the method. I have started learning to use a sewing machine for basic easy work. Cheers,
Thanks Adam, great to read you are starting your journey with a sewing machine. I hope you enjoy it.
Brilliant! Thank you. Exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks Karen.
Thank you for this. It was the only thing I was having issues with 😀
Glad it helped!
Very helpful tip, thanks Aneka
Thank you. Aneka x
Thanks so much! Finally found how to do it
Glad I could help
Dang, I didn't know you could pull the little string right through lol. Tyyy!
Pleasure! 🙏
THANK YOU!!! Exactly what I needed
My machine can backstitch by moving the dial in the opposite direction, Butterfly JA2-1. The manual says that the the JA1-1 does not have a way to reverse the drive, and says to simply lower the needle, raise the presser foot and turn the work 180 deg, then lower the presser foot and continue to sew in a forwards direction...which is a backstitch. I do like the tie off method, which isn't mentioned in the manual. My machine only does a straight stitch, so I'm wanting to learn all the 'old fashioned ways' of sewing.
My machine gets all tangled if I sew too close to the edge, especially on soft fabrics. So this is really helpful.
Wonderful tutorial 😊
Thanks Terri
10-3-18 To Aneka good info. I didn't know how to do this. What do you think about
using a 1/4 foot for topstitching blazers? I'm thinking about buying it.
Yes you can use a 1/4" foot for topstitching. My personal preference is the edge-stitching foot, but 1/4" foot will also be useful. Aneka x
this seems simple but this was SO HELPFUL!!!!
Thank you.
how did u get the thread to stay in the needle ??? i put it through the needle and when i go to see it just doesn’t stitch and it goes out of the needle
Hi Anna, I would recommend you watch this video: ruclips.net/video/tg6_ILHQ_q4/видео.html When you start sewing put your needle into the fabric and hold the threads at the same time. This will stop the thread from coming out of the needle. It does this because the thread is short and if the needle has to go up before coming down into the fabric it can loose the thread. Hope this helps? Aneka
Thank you! I do backstitch and still see that small loop on the wrong side. Was using a thread burner to melt it down but it leaves a very small stub that’s sharp. Im sewing dog collars using polyester webbing. Any solutions? I don’t like the sharpness yet am afraid to leave it loose
If you hold onto both of the threads when you start seeing you couldn’t get any loops on the wrong side. You want to hold onto them as you backstitch then let go. Let me know if this helps? Aneka
@@MadetoSew thank you!! I actually had been holding onto both threads from start to finish - just not tight enough at the end. 😬 appreciate so much your getting back to me!! 💖 have a wonderful day!
@@redesign5096 glad holding on tighter worked. 🥰🥰
Wow! This is a game changer!
This helped soooo much thanks 🙏
So pleased it helped.
thank you so much for this!!
Glad it helped. Aneka x
you are my lifesaver! 😫 thanks!!
Glad I could help Rose.
This was so helpful! I recently got a used machine from a friend and the backstitch button is broken 😂
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Glad I could help.
I have a question. I have a denim vest with a lot of patches and my tie-offs are prett amateur. Is there a product like an adhesive "bandage" for covering up the tieoffs so they don't accidentally get caught on anything? I've been searching but I can't find quite what I'm looking for. @MadeToSew
Hmm… not really. I would take the threads from the top side through to the wrong side to tie off. If you are VERY careful you can use a lighter or flame to melt the thread (if it’s poly thread). I would test this first. And of course you need to be careful you don’t damage your main fabric. So please test this and be very careful if you choose this technique.
Ok thanks. I think I'll take my chances and leave it be.
@@openmindedmetaldad as long as it’s secure it should be fine. Another option for the future is to tie off the thread, then thread it through a needle and hide it before cutting it off?! Just an idea.
Thanks for the advice. I worry too much that the knot will go through the denim, so I do it kind of sloppy, but I'm getting better with pratice.
Thank you Aneka great tips :)
Thank you. xx
ohhhh my goshhhhh I didn't know this. 😭 thank you so much for the tios
Love from india😍 ..liked your channel
Thank you. Aneka x
do you tie the top and bottom threads together
Yes you are tying both threads together, just on the same side of the fabric.
Very helpful! Thanks.
Thanks Anna.
Thank you very much for your information
You are welcome
Thank you so much this is very helpful😊
Glad it helped!
waah this was so genius thank you
You're so welcome!
Can we fabric glue the tied off thread?
Yes you can add some fabric glue to the tied ends if you wish to make it more secure. It's not a requirement, but if your project requires more security you can choose to do that.
Im a 30 year old guy trying to learn how to sew and looking at getting a machine because iv always got Velcro etc wearing out on my motorcycle pants and jacket etc and never have a way to durably fix them so im leaning to sew but im wondering why is there 2 strings? I thought sewing had one string but i guess im wrong but im learning
SO HELPFUL
Thank you.
Actual tutorial starts at 2:04 ☺️
Thank you!
Thank you 💚
Thanks Diane.
Thank you!
Thank you.
So I have a question when I took my fabric out I didn’t leave a long tail
What should I do I’m stuck here
And also I have a singer 8280
Have you back stitched? If you haven't you might want to sew over yourself again and then you can either tie off, or by sewing over the stitching it will be more secure. Hope that helps?
Just ask a question, I will get back to you. Just depending on my schedule it can take a few days. Thanks, Aneka
Great!
amazing lady
♥️
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Hiya I'm confussed as I've got two pieces of thread on top and the bottom
Thank you so much
Thank you!
Thanks!
Welcome!
THANKK YOYOYUOUOOUUUU
Pleasure
damn ive just been pulling the pulling things down and letting it rip like 15 times in the same spot all this time, I could have been doing it way cleaner lol
noooo i just leave the tails hanging, i tested it out in the washing machine and it was fine so i didnt realize i needed to do this
Hopefully it has helped now.
Fell asleep watching streamers playing among us and woke up to how to tie off my yarn. What is the youtube algorithm
😀😀
goaboa
🙏
For a teaching video you execute the instructions extremely fast and I had to make the video in slow motion to capture the lesson... slow down.
So sorry you found it too fast. I will bear it in mind when filming future videos. Thank you.
Get rid of those Horrible Red Germ collecting claws ! They are extraordinarily unsanitary !!!
its not her fault you've never heard of washing your hands Randy...
So if you backstich at the start and end then you don't need to tie knots? 🤔 Sorry for this maybe redundant question, I want to make sure I got it correctly 🥲
If you backstitch, you don't need to tie a knot. Tying a knot is preferable when: 1. you sew on a delicate fabric and backstitching would make the seam too bulky 2. You topstitch so backstitch doesn't look very nice. For me, I often tie a knot because my sewing machine is too fast and the backstitch looks like spaghetti 50% of the time.
@@barefacedquestions thank you very much! I'm a beginner :) I will try and see how it looks on different fabrics. I like the idea of not having to tie a knot, I'm lazy, lol!
Thank you!
